I had my surgery two days ago and I feel great! My only discomfort is the tightness of my surgical bra. I really want to open it for just a few minutes to air out. Is this harmful?

my dr wants me to wear a very tight bra (its been two days since surgery) and I find that the worst part. Can I open the bra and let my breasts relax for a couple of minutes.
Great review?

My Doctor: name not provided

I believe he did a wonderful job and I feel great after only two days

I am beginning research on my breast augmentation. Would you advise me on who you used as I dont have much experience and want to use the best care possible. I also live in New York and am considering doing the surgery in Manhattan. Respectfully, Tricia West Islip, NY

Tempted to say 'yes'. But I'm also assuming you're the one who put the bra on to begin with...? If your surgeon put it on you, you might want to hold off until the post-op exam. The discomfort you're feeling might be more to do with the new implants and less to do with the bra.
