After 4 weeks i was told i can wear any kind of supportive bras, i got a few fabric ones from morrisons with small padding to hide the nipples. 6 weeks po i was told i can wear unwired bras through the day or go a few hours without one. i went out braless in a quiet tight dress and even after they hurt alittle to the touch the next day , may of just been swelling. if your nurse has said otherwise stick with what she has said.
