Hi all, first post. I had a lumpectomy and sentinel biopsy 3 weeks ago, then second surgery for margins plus nipple removal 3 days ago. My question is, am I messing up the shape of my breast with my bra? I have the M&S post surgery compression bras (I'm an A cup), but my breast looks very elliptical with the bruising. I have bruising above where the nipple used to be and under my arm. I'm really paranoid that something I'm doing is making it a weird shape, but is it too early to tell? My consultant saw it on and was focused on the good compression, but do I need to adjust it in any way, or are there more shapely compression bras out there? It's obviously still very sore to be hauling and pulling at.
Big hugs to you all.
