How tight should your surgical bra be after breast augmentation?

August 23, 2018
Asked By:abcmommy

I knew it wouldn’t be “comfortable” But it really actually hurts. The only pain I have is from the bruising that is now spreading around my ribcage from the base of the bra my PS gave me to wear. Do these come in different sizes? The one I have on says “34C”. My measurement under my boobs is 35”, and underneath the armpit is 37”. I feel like this is cutting off circulation. Is this normal? (I have visible marks where the bra is digging into shoulders/ribcage)
