I had a successful lift with no complications. I’ve been wearing a supportive bra of some type all day and sleeping in a sports bra at night. I’m feeling a little tenderness under my breast that seems to be coming from wearing an underwire bra. Can I give my body a break and sleep without a bra for a night?
