I am 4 weeks post op from my Breast Augmentation with the incisions under the breast. Why am I still sore/tender?

November 14, 2014
Asked By:shell8347 in Cobourg, ON

I have had very supportive bras on 24/7 since the surgery and I think that may be part of the issue. It feels like I am bruised although I don't see any bruising. I have tried several different bras and sizes but with wearing them constantly it feels like its pushing/sitting on the incisions and its very very tender. The rest of my breasts are fine, a little sensitive but fine. What can I do to ease the pain and will it feel better soon
