Advice on swelling and shock absorber bras

Cos I bought a couple yesterday. The size seemed perfectly right. 34D. But after wearing one for a few hours, it started feeling really tight under my boobs. Bear in mind I’m only 12 days post op. Prior to op I was 34 but feel I’m a 36 now. Will I still be swollen? As I thought all of the swelling would have gone by now. The shock absorber bras seems fine if I’m stood up. It’s if I’m sitting around that they dig in a bit. My Mam looked at it whilst I was wearing it and seems perfect fit. I’m just worried I’ve bought wrong size and can’t take them back cos I’ve taken all the tags off. Hope I haven’t wasted £40.

lisa mine used to hurt in the exact same way, fine if i was standing but not when i sat for long periods, it still does it now and im 6 weeks post opp, im only a 30 bk but wore a 34 in my sports bra, i think its just the design of them, trying sitting with good posture that used to help me, shoulders back and back straight xx

Thanks so much Nikki! I even used the Shock Absorber online calculator to make sure I’d bought the right size. I measured myself, typed the measurements into their calculator and it came up I should be a 34B! I bloody hope not!! x
