7 day post augmentation and mastopexy - will the bottom of my sports bra rubbing on my scars cause a serious issue? (photos)

Asked By:e3mjo in Leeds, AL

I have just had my dressings removed and been allowed to wear a sports bra alongside my binder (6 days with binder only to this point). Delighted with the results but worried that with no dressings the scars appear to be worryingly close to the bottom of my sports bra and I can feel it rubbing slightly. Can I put a thin cotton vest top under the sports bra to create a barrier between or will this hinder the healing of the scars? Also should I lay with them completely naked a few times a day??
