Asked By:D07 in West Palm Beach, FL

My breast were healing fine, only thing is I could feel some stitches coming through if I ran my hand down my incision. This morning I woke up to this! There was nothing there yesterday, just a stitch! I called my PS office, waiting for call back. Should I wear better compression bra? I wear sports bras without wire.
