Anyone Who Had A Lumpectomy, I Am Having Both Right And Left. Can You Tell Me What To Expect After Surgery. Do I Wear A Bra Home? Etc.
After a lumpectomy, you can expect some swelling, tenderness, and possibly a drainage tube. It's recommended to wear a supportive sports bra or a soft, wire-free bra both day and night to minimize movement and discomfort. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions on wound care, pain management, and signs of infection Show Full Answer
I had three Lumpectomies on the left Breast. Not much pain just tender and sore. Wore a soft front opening bra continuously for about a week. At night when uncomfortable I would unhook it for a couple hrs and rehook. Be careful not to lift and if you need to bend over hold your breasts. I had some fluid retention (seroma) but it is slowly resolving. I only took Tylenol for the first day. None needed afterwards. Good Luck and Blessings to you ❤️
Ditto. Correctly stated. It will help you tremendously to follow those instructions. Sleeping in a bra can be uncomfortable for some but it really helps. Get one that opens in the front. Let us know how you're doing. Hugs
Thank you
