Why would my surgeon say no bra and then tell me to wear a bra?

B8
blondie 89May 13, 2011

I just had my breast done 4 days ago.I was a 32b and i wanted a full C so he put 350cc of saline in me. Now the next day after my surgery he told me no bra for 3 weeks so they can drop. I been in so much pain so I went back in to see him. Now he put a sports looking bra on me!? One looks bigger than the other. I just don't know what to make of this. I'm all confused. Can someone help me understand why he would say no bra and then tell me wear a bra. He says the implants are ok but one looks bigger?

Burning in Sternum After Breast Augmentation

Burning sensation usually means a nerve is being irritated.  It could be that it is being stretched or it may be caught in some scar tissue that is not irritating it.  Potentially a talk with a pain specialist may help.  Sometimes medication can be used to soothe irritated nerves.
