Strapping??!!

Hi all I’m 5 days post op and don’t get my strapping off till Tuesday! It’s so uncomfy and it’s making me so sweaty and itchy and it pinches where it’s tight.. Has anyone else found it like this? Did you take it off yourself? Or did you put up with it and wait? Feel free to add me xx

Hi Hun I feel for you bless, just give the nurse a quick call and ask her if you can remove it and put a sports bra on? Obviously leaving you bandages on. I had to remove the strapping at 3 days cause it was irritating my skin and giving me blisters!! So I got told to remove it x

I am in exactly the same boat. I’m 4 days post op and I am itching like crazy!!! I feel so sweaty!! I want to keep it on for a long as I’m supposed to but I’m going out of my mind! I don’t know what to do. I’m worried if I take it off I may be more prone to infection if the bandages get wet by accident etc xx

My nurse ain’t in today and spoke to the receptionist and she said to keep it on and put a I’ve pack on it :/ have any of you got the out of hours number please? Xx

I started to feel like that after a few days. It definitely got more uncomfortable once the painkillers ran out. I definitely found that ice helped and so did lying at like a 45 degree angle so my boobs and chest weren’t constantly pushing against the strapping. The nurse said mine was extremely tight and I did well to keep it on but I’m glad I did cos I’ve had no bleeding at all and they’ve healed really well. My nurse did say I could have cut out a little triangle at the top and bottom of the cleavage if it got unbearable.
