Hey hun,
No you dont have to wear the same sports bra for a week. You may need help changing though because it will be hard for you to move your arms and stuff.
You can have shallow baths up to your waist from the day after your op but make sure it is very shallow because you cant get your scars wet at all. Use wipes under your arms and dry shampoo on your hair and be careful.
You will go see your nurse for your 1 week post-op appointment. She will check your scars, clean them and re-dress them. She will then go through washing with you. She should tell you you can start showering from then. You cant have a proper soak in the bath for 6 weeks though just showers with clean running water and dont spends ages in there at first just long enough to properly wash your bits lol just let the water and soap run down over your boobs dont scrub them. I used an antibacterial soap and shower gel to wash just to be safe and then i put a savlon spray on after showering just to be extra safe against infection.
If you dont have a shower continue to have shallow baths for the first 6 weeks so that your scars arent soaking in the water and use a cup to pour water over your body to wash.
Hope this helps xxx
