Can the post-surgical sports bra lead to the forming of bruises? Should I be worried and wear a different bra/ no bra? (photo)

adalAug 14, 2014
I'm getting bruises 2 days after breast augmentation (only on the left side). The buises are formed in the shape of my sports bra that I'm advised to wear night and day. The bra doesn't feel too tight! After the surgery I didn't have any bruises. I have no other support/bandages protecting my breast. I feel quite some pain on my chest muscle since the implant was placed using dual plane technique, but I guess thats normal. Should I be worried about the bruises and be without/wear another bra?

The idea that a doctor could  augment your breasts without surgery - on a temporary basis  - would be amazing if it was actually possible.  Can you imagine how great it would be if you could choose a cup size based upon your particular plans for the night?Unfortunately, if it sounds too good to...
