Nipples hurt after Breast Augmentation (week 3 post op). Is it ok?

August 24, 2016
Asked By:Briar_joy in Russia, RU

After wearing that surgical bra for the 3rd week my nipples started to hurt. I take it off during the day for a couple of hours but still.. How women wear bras? Do their nipples hurt all the time because of their bra's preassure? Or is it because of long time wearing that bra and it's a little tight?
