Hi all..

Random ? How long do you have to keep a bra on for 24 hours, after a lumpectomy please..

  • Hi Sjm welcome to the  forum. I had to wear my soft bra for 24 hrs for 4 weeks. Sometimes  this can be longer depending on how quick you heal up. I was told that the main reasons for wearing it like that is to reduce swelling after the op, offer support for the breast and try to keep the shape of the breast. Have you had your surgery yet ?     Gail x

  • Hi Gail.. Thank you.. That makes total sense, Yes had surgery on the 4th June, back for pathology this Thursday Fingers crossed
