hi girls im 4 days post op and my breasts are taped until Saturday. My chest is feeling very tight and I’m just wondering how much better it feels once the tape is taken off? thanks xx
hi i had the foam bandages they are glued to your skin i took mine off after 4 days i couldnt bear it and i started to use my macom bra give the nurse at mya a call and see if you can take them off you will feel so much better i was so tight i couldnt breath with them on! o but be careful not to take the dressings off the scars.
thanks for that. I’m really tempted to take them off. The only thing is i’ve tried wearing my macom bra and after about 30 mins i get a burning pain under my left breast. its so unbearable I have to take it off.. i guess I have to have one or the other and at the moment the bra is just too uncomfortable on my left boobie. Did you have Mr singh too? x
Hi I have just gad my Strapping removed today after 7 days of hating it! Stick with it hun it feels loads nicer wen it is off – I can finally breathe properly!! xx
I’m imgining thats how I will feel… I’m desperate to see the shape of my boobs too… they just look like little mountains right now. Will they look much more round when the tape comes off?
I have taped boobs too! I have tape over my dressings n up my cleavage. Im 6 days po today n have also gotta wait till sat to have them removed! Ive peeled tape bk a bit to allow me to breath as i was beggining to feel uncomfy like it was squeezin my gut! Also cnt stand straight as it feels like my stitches will tear! Was considerin takin it all off myself as its been a wk tomoz! But dnt wanna risk infection x
I’ve just had my tape off today, yay! Feels a tiny bit better, not much. Its lovely to be able to see them in full though. Love em!
Alison, you ok? x
How do they look lisa, have you added any pics? I had the same as you so keen to see how mine will turn out..x
They look great! I’m so pleased with them. I’d have probably liked them a bit more rounded on top but I’ll push them up to look that way when I can wear a proper bra. I’m going to take some pics tonight and put them on so keep your eyes peeled. I’m going to get fake tanned up first! Dying to slap on me fake tan! x
haha nice one lisa. Congratulations, i’m glad you’re happy with them. I’ll take a peek later xx
Hey lisa, yeh I’m good thanks! Still achey and got some shooting pains still but feel so much better now the strapping is off! I’m filling a 32D at the moment so all good! Still look like mountains though haha how you getting on chick? Xxx
Hey girls – You know what? I took mine off a lil early and wish I hadn’t, because they were sooo comfortable compared to the Macom Bra I have, which pushes them into my chest like hard rocks. I was sleeping like a baby with the foam on but the two nights after taking them off, I tossed and turned all night.. Stick with it if you can and it’s not too tight x
Hi Allison, feel bit better for having my strapping off. I’m slightly disappointed I’m not filling a D cup – I shoulda gone for the 380s! But then I’m hoping they’ll fluff and hoping I’ll be a D in a normal bra as sports/surgical bras are stretchy anyway. I’m putting some new pics up later. Got a right sore upper back today though. x
Grrr my bandages r doing my head in Been a week na n there really itching me I just want them off tempted to do it myself x
me too… I really want to see what my boobs look like. Lisa yours look like they should fill a D – they definitely look a D. I’m hoping my will too. Still waiting for mine to pop out… can’t see anything under this taping though. Laura hall had 340 unders and hers just popped at 7 days – they look amazing. Really hope mine will do the same..
i took my tape off tonight n left the dressing on! couldnt handle the squashed gut feelin any longer lol x
I’m 5 days PO and I’m experiencing the same I’ve had to lift the top tape up and put sudocream on it as it looks like my skin is burnt will phone the nurse later.
