    Yours comes higher up than mine and it’s a different kind of material! At least I get to see the top of my boobs! 🙂 You get yours off sooner though! They’re gonna look awesome! x

    Mine was the same as this but my nipples were out it’s so annoying where it’s tight isn’t it! It doesn’t hurt when they take it off the nurse has special wipes that she uses which are Vaseline based it’s just comes off really easy x

    Why do they use strapping? Just looks like a torture device, and is there any actual real evidence for it?
    I’m always one to review the scientific evidence base (don’t get me started in bio oil!) and my surgeon said there is nothing to suggest type of bra, or no bra, makes a difference post op!
    So glad I didn’t have to have it, I could see and touch mine from day 1 and I think it helped me be way less anxious post op!

    I personally liked the strapping in the sense I felt supported too. Every surgeon has their own preferences, and advice. Good luck on your recovery 🙂 just focus on relaxing and enjoying some trashy tv etc, and the week will go before you know it xx
