1 day post op.. bra is killing me its so tight! do i have to wear one?? Started by: sarsar

Mine felt really uncomfortably tight for the first week as your all swollen & bruised! I just rode it out as I had the macom but I know what you mean it it is painful mine fits snug now & I hate my other ones lol I think you should wear it over night and find a different one tomorrow as my nurse said to me to keep one on 24/7 apart from showering xx

I was like this for about a week,with my macom,which is weird coz I now lovee it n they ache wen I take it off lol its prob best tho coz it comes down lower than the incisions! I Bort bigger bras frm tesco n asda n they cut in so bad, nothing worked! Any bra made it unbearable, I had mr singh so was all taped up are u or jus dressings??

I kept my bra off til I cud cope with it, prob 4days po. Coz I thought if its hurtin it can’t be doin them any good! Each surgeon has different advice tho some say wear 24/7 n others say don’t! I’d call n ask urs!x

Hi Hun, as you know I was the same day as you although classing myself as a extra day on , as I had mine at 9.( don’t know if I’m right to do that) I wore my macom and last night was really tight , but I think some swellings gone down today. I also had a asda bra & 2 different tesco bras, but the nurse said the macom is best to wear. My boobs feel really supported & I find u can pull it down a bit more. If you don’t want to buy the macom I would def just get a cheap 1 in a bigger back size. There’s nothing worse than your bra digging. On a happier note , IRS digging in coz you’ve got lovely boobies haha . Hope you heal well chick xx
