Question...

So, my question is should I be wearing a "tight/snug" bra during the day and a "loose/not as snug" bra at night? I had a tighter one on yesterday and man it was really bothering me, I have a looser one on now and it's more comfortable however I am not sure if it should be kinda snug. Thanks girls.

So I'm not supposed to wear any bra or put any compression on mine bc of the blood flow issue, so I'm wearing looser tees and tanks. One night I put a snugger tank on (more Lycra, tighter knit), and I kept waking up bc it was irritating my incisions, so I put a looser one on and I could sleep. My thought is, if the snug bra bothers you, perhaps wear it only for an hour or so for compression, then switch to looser?

You should follow the guidance of your doctor. Some surgeons suggest wearing a compression garment 24/7 for six weeks. Some suggest lymphatic drainage massage for six weeks. The compression and massage relives the swelling and hastens return to normal. I also hear massage makes you feel better (my first massage planned for today!). You should wear a supportive, front closing, non underwire bra while you are healing. Remember that the breast need support and you want to keep 'em perky :) I am two weeks post-op and wear a tight bra at night.....surgeons office mailing me another compression bra....

Had my post op visit and it went great. Got the drains out, no issues (whew). PS wants to see me in a week to remove just two stiches, the rest will all dissolve. So, I got home to take a long awaited shower.........AHHHHHHH, felt great and got to see my new boobies. They are small and perky and just what I wanted ! PS is pleased w/ my progress but had to remind me not to over do it. The swelling will take a while and I just need to be patient. Hope everyone else is doing as well.

still have not had to take anything strong for pain, so that's good news. I did talk to the surgery ctr and told them that under my arm pits it seems swollen, they asked if I had a fever/chills and I said NO, so no infection looming in my body. I am using an ice machine and that helps. I see my PS tomorrow to hopefully get this packing off and the drains out and also stiches. I am a little nervous about the drains as a bunch of ladies said how painful it is. Other than being tired I feel pretty good. Hope everyone else is doing good too. I am excited to see "the girls"....LOL
