    Same here but had the dreaded strapping off yesterday boobs still feel tight and the left one is very numb feels like I’m touching someone else’s boob lol. maybe give the sports bra a miss while wearing strapping might ease the pressure abit. I never wore a bra on top as the strapping was tight enough. Happy healing xx

    It’s just a difference in surgeons Chantelle… Some let you remove it wheras others want you to leave it on and you gave it removed at your 7 day post op by the nurse x

    Thanks Leanne thats good to know! And yes Kim I had dr chantarasak tues also 🙂 I had a macom aswell but it was soo tight I could hardly breath so I went to asda and got a few. £6 each and they are brill much better than the macom and they have a lil bit of padding in aswell so your nips don’t show through 😉 I’m doing ok so far just still very high on my chest swelling gone done a little but no numbness as yet x
