I had a unilateral breast lift yesterday and I am currently in excuriatinf pain. My next appointment with a nurse is in 16 days. I was told to take off the bandages myself and then buy steristrips at the drugstore and then to put those on if my old ones fall off. The next appointment with my actual dr. Is 2 months after my procedure. I am in really bad pain and I feel like my bandages are too tight. I was told to wait 3 days to take them off. I feel scared and hopeless. Is this normal?
