Post Surgical Bra & Dressing Changes? (Photo)

January 6, 2018
Asked By:Lc00 in Dallas, TX

I had breast augmentation yesterday (submuscular 240cc). They sent me home with a surgical bra but did not place it on me and gave me me no instruction on when to wear it. Also no instruction on dressing changes except paperwork for twice daily or whether to ice? I’ve read conflicting stories on whether or not to wear the bra right right away? I’m now 24 hrs post. I would call the office but it’s a Saturday. Would it cause harm to just wear and ice it until I can get clarification?
