compression strap

hi girls, i just wondered if anyone else had to wear a compression strap across the top of new boobies? I had mine yesterday and have this strap on which is pretty uncomfortable and I have been told to wear it for 1 month! I'm sure i will get used to it and it will be less uncomfortable when the swelling has gone down but at the moment i am dreading wearing it for that long! All in the name of good boobies i guess compression strap 113752

.

Also if anyone did have one... how did you disguise it under clothes? It's kinda bulky!

thanks lovely ladies xxx

Hey Hattie

Congratulations on you op darling. Hope you're feeling fit soon.

I had to wear a compression strap ... intially I thought it would be for 6 weeks, but at my 5 week check, my surgeon told me I had to wear it for another 3 weeks for 8 hours a day. I was well gutted!!!! But it went quickly enough. It will be worth it in the end, and it's a fantastic feeling when you don't have to wear it anymore.

thanks girls, its a little less uncomfortable today but i keep undoing it now and again for a sneaky deep breath here and there!

I asked the surgeon again how long i wear it for when i saw him today on the off chance he would change his mind since yesterday haha ... no such luck! funnily enough it is still a month compression strap 70324

I'm also wearin the binder :( thankfully though its just for 2 weeks, so it can come off on wednesday and i cant wait. I've been wearing a boob tube over mine to try and cover it.
Do you find it gets really itchy?

When i swap to a sports bra after 2 weeks, does anyone know if i have to wear the sports bra in bed too?

Hi Noodles, I am actually wearing a big post op bra with strap over the top so everything is so bulky! I have red dry patches under my arms from wear it rubs, only 1 week left though yay! compression strap 923101

I think when you switch to your sports bra it will be day and night, most girls have to wear them 24/7. A lot of girls actually don't give up wearing it at night because it feels weird having no support. I have been wearing mine 24/7 for 3 weeks, it will all be worth it in the end!

Perhaps double check with your surgeon/nurse to make sure xx
