Bra off at night after 2 weeks

by vickeysmith 16th January 2013, 5:51 pm

I was told this today which goes against everything I've read on here.

Confused, What should I do?

Who told you? And what was their reasoning. I am in bra 24/7 for 8 weeks. Tbh with you I wore a bra at night after my previous BA as I was very uncomfortable with out. 2 weeks seems awfully early was that from your surgeon

I wad told I could sleep bra less too! However I sleep in my Macom cos I feel safe and supported. I have slept bra less a few times too x

Saying that I think that was at my 6 week check xx

It was the nurse! I won't be doing it, it just doesn't sound right. She seemed very rushed with me even tho there was no one else in the waiting room and I just had a nightmare morning getting to her. Not impressed really

Can you check with your surgeon? There maybe a reason behind it

Some women for whatever reason their surgeon feels might be requested to sleep braless after a specified period of time lovely. When you're standing and upright this is when you need the most support for your boobs, releasing them from the support at night just allows for the skin/muscle to be able to relax just that little bit more for YOU.

So how do I check this with my surgeon? Not seeing him until 12 weeks x

by **COOKIE** 16th January 2013, 6:13 pm

If you don't have his email address, you could call your clinic and request it? If they aren't willing to pass it on you could request they email on your behalf if you wanted to hun. Xx

by vickeysmith 17th January 2013, 4:33 pm

Nurse. I don't see him til 12 weeks either xx

I was told by nurse I could sleep bra less at 2 wks when I asked why she said it was to get 'air' to my scars to help them heal as in a bra 24/7 they can sweat and in bed at night so it's best to get air to them to help them to heal, I did one night in bra one night without bra and mine have healed lovely....saw mr m last week and he was happy!! Hope that helps Thumbsup

How did the check go shazcott? Have you been measured xx

by Njwarren87 4th March 2013, 2:54 pm

how many post op checks do you need to go to in the first year? I have my first one booked 12 days after my op x

Your first post-op check is 'generally' around 7-10 days post-op. your second is generally around 6 weeks post-op, your third, depending on the clinic, between 3-6 months. Some clinics sign you off then, others give you the last check up at a year post-op

If you have further questions hun, it would be best to create your own thread because you'll get a better response that way. X

Hiya! If you're having Mr M and you live in Swindon you're probably Reading clinic? Like me. I had one at 12 days (which was brought forward to 10 because dressings came loose) then one at 6 weeks. The the first time I will see Mr M after surgery will be 12 weeks. I hope to be signed off then but it could be that they book another for a year. The nurse at Reading is waaaaaaay more strict that Mr M's nurses at other clinics... Can't work out if that's a good thing or not :) xxx

Tinkerbell - I am dreading sleeping in a bra! It sounds like things are moving in the right direction with you though, so following doctors orders is the best medicine:)

How long did you sleep propped up?? Is it just in hosp? AND, as I am a tummy sleeper, I don't know how I'm going to handle sleeping on my back when I am allowed anyway! Please shed some light on this as you are now an expert.
