Is a tight sports bra a good form of compression after sclerotherapy on breasts?

May 20, 2019
Asked By:mermaidstew in Ontario, CA

I just received a syringe of sclerotherapy today for the veins on my breasts. Is a tight sports bra better compression than gauze and surgical tape? I wore the gauze and tape all day and it was very uncomfortable on my skin. My skin felt very irritated and sore due to the tape. Because breasts are shaped differently than a leg, I feel like this is not the most ideal form of compression for breasts. My doctor office is closed and I want to ask an expert.
