Compression garment after explant. Can they be too tight?

October 30, 2015
Asked By:WantTwoBeMeAgain in Colorado, CO

I was told to wear a zip front firm support job bra after explant. Granted, It's only been 24 hours and it's now officially bugging me! It is a good fitting bra with padding, but thinking how I can wear this 24x7 fir the next weeks-months? And can this flatten me out? What is the purpose of tight compression and when is enough enough?
