I have been given a cotton bra with lacing to wear at night if I felt my post surgery one was too tight, from time to time. I had a party yesterday and wore it almost 24h. I am 4 weeks post op and before yesterday my chest felt fine, really soft, most of the pain gone, was able to lift my arms. I woke up this morning after wearing the cotton lace one in which I put some inserts from one of my sports bra for a bit more support and Unfortunately after a few too many drinks I started dancing and jumping around so today I am really paying for it, I feel like I’ve gone back 2 weeks on my recovery 😭
I really hope it’s just all the strain and I’ll be fine tomorrow. I’ve got my one month appointment on Tuesday so in 2 days time so I’ll get properly checked.
I would say avoid not wearing anything at all and if you do, make sure you don’t dance or lift your arms or whatever else. Even if you feel fine to do it, it’s not worth risking it.
