I’ve had a Zoom consultation this week with my surgeon as decided a year was plenty of time for things to settle. He said he will see me when hospital is open again so he can check me over in person. He mentioned CC and said the pain I’m describing on the interior side is odd for overs.

I have an post op recovery bra that I used for first 2weeks. It’s very impractical but was great for compression. It’s not a UK brand as it was purchased by my surgeon as he recommends them.
Or if you want high street after a few weeks try the M&S sports bras. I’m 8 weeks post op and been wearing them load.

I was 32b post breast feeding 2 kids.
In all honesty fine….pain was manageable after 24hrs & stopped tablets at end of day 2. Had some nerve pain day 10-21 in left but that so subsided.
I’m 6 weeks post op now & feel good. They’re dropping nicely & apart from a few shooting pains I forget sometimes I’ve had them done!
