Very sore scar

Hey! I’m 9 days post op and had my follow up yesterday. Since seeing the nurse my scar on the right boob has been really hurting me. She said they weren’t ready to be left uncovered so cleaned them up and popped another plaster on.
Since then it’s been pain. I went to the Docs for an unrelated issue but mentioned it. She looked and said it looks ok but there is blood on the plaster (it was dry)
Could it be my bra pressing on them? As it’s rolling up a bit at the bottom and really hurts when I’m sitting up on hunched over a little. (It also hurts when I straighten my back – but that I can understand as I’m stretching the torso too)
Should I look for a different bra? Please can anyone suggest a bra that is comfortable on the scar?
I’ve bloated loads since the surgery and I’ve noticed the bra is leaving me with a red band around my body so maybe it’s a bit tight too..
I’m currently wearing a macom I-bra

Pics to see the scar – I’m happy with how tidy he’s made it….. The tattoo might need redoing though haha

Try again…

I had bleeding under my right boob on my plaster to but the nurse said she thought it was just my scab coming off and my bra did the same, I’m wearing a m&s bra and I’ve put a tubie grip under the band as it had a red line there, I feel loads better now xx

Ooh what’s a tubie grip? I’ve seen a few ladies wearing the M&S high impact sports bra so I’m going to get one of those. But for now I feel relief. I’ve been thinking of using a sanitary towel. Lol!

@melanie375 it’s like a bandage but a full one but they really soft, I just folded it and have had it under my bra since. I love my bras from m&s and only £25 xx

Aah fab. Thank you! I’ll go and get some today. 😀 xx

@melanie375 only a pound from Poundland lol xx
