Cuts & Bruises From STRAPPING

Hiya ladies,
I had my Op 5th of August, and have just had the strapping taken off, one week PO. A bit unhappy as I have cuts and bruises all over, and that’s dampened my appreciation for my new assets. Has anyone else experienced this? and do I apply anything to it? Between my nurse said I was healing very well and it was totally normal but I had to ask anyway.

I tried uploading pictures on here but it won’t let me ladies, please add me to view it on my profile. I need all the advise I can get.

Hi I had mine 5 August too had strapping off Friday and was so relieved I didn’t really notice anything else however next morning I took my bra off and there was spots of blood and yellow, my right boob had a big mark all down my right boob. I bought some baby wipes that said they fought germs and I’ve been using these to wipe my boobs so I don’t spread any bacteria from anywhere else. It is now scabbed over and healing well I think the best bet is to keep it as dry as possible. I pretty much got away with bruising thanks to Arnica tablets however a big black one did appear around my incision but this is fading now. I have been taking Ibuprofen to keep swelling down at night and ice packs during day has given a lot of relief as well (I have also undone my bra for a short while evening time when sitting down as I found it really uncomfortable on bruising and incisions) hope this helps ? x

I had this, i had bruises for about 2 weeks afterwards, they was yellow bruises, but as soon as they went i was happy xx

I was just about to post the same thing. Just had my strapping off. I’ve got cuts, and some scabs under my armpits, keep bleeding on my Macom, so sore, dunno what’s best to do x

Hi CC,

This is totally normal I had the exact same. It will all fade just give it time. These photos are from as soon as I got my strapping off, the bruising started as yellow and now I’m 20 days post op and it’s all black…niiiice. The red lines above my boobs have disappeared now though which I’m pleased about ?

I’ve just had my strapping off this evening and i have a few red cuts and marks, she said it will go down in the next couple of days, my little yellow bruise I think is just from the operation! It is all worth it xx

Thank you so much ladies, I feel so much better now.Will keep updated with pictures.

I wondered why I was in so much pain. And when I had the strapping removed the nurse said ita all normal. Ive been taking arnica tablets as well. They would have looked like to giant blackcurrents if I didn’t ?? we have just been through a lot of trauma. Scratches and bruises fade over time. Please don’t worry. They will be beautiful ??
