breast band pain

i am only one day post op but my breast band is absolutely killing me! 🙁 I had to take it off while i ate my dinner earlier because i was struggling to breath that much. would it be okay if i take it off for a few hours each day? i don’t want to mess anything up but the breast band seems to be causing more pain than my actual boobs 🙁

Demi im 8 days post op an i literally have to take it off for abit because of the breathing thing!! An hour or so wont do any harm, you have to breathe!!! Xxx

how awful is it :'( my boobs are just slightly achey theres no actual real pain. The only problem is this band haha! I’m going to try and leave it on for as long as possible. Do you know what it is actually meant for? xxx

@samantha

Its to help them drop babe, blimming bands! I am quite sure mines doing more harm than good lol!!! Xxx

Haha thats how i feel! Have yours dropped much? xxx

No. Lmao, my right one is slightly dropping, my left one gives me more agg!! But im not in any discomfort anymore thank god, cant wait to sleep laying down!! This sitting up sleeping malarky is rubbish!! How you feeling chic? How did your op go? Xxx

I’m so glad I’ve seen this topic!! I went for my 1 week post op today and they put me in my sports bra which I’m so releaved about but she said because my right one hasn’t dropped as much as my left I have to keep on wearing it. I completely agrees to say it’s causing more pain than my actual boobs, my rib cage feels like it’s about to cave in and I’m getting such breathing difficulties 🙁 x

Any advice? We must wear the band 24/7 …something that might help? Ice packet? Any pain killers? The one they gave me stop working almost the day after surgery ?

Try pulling your Breast band down on Ur back, mine was literally cutting into my armpits!!! Since I’ve been pulling it down at the back it is SO much comfier!! I give myself an hour break of a night & pop a ice pack on xxx

yeah my nurse called me yesterday to see how i was doing and i explained about this breast band pain! she said i can take it off for about 10 minutes every 2 hours or so, but try not to make a habit out of it 🙁 she also said i need to wear it for 30 days!
