I need to remind myself that BB (on the left) is only 2 weeks post-surgery, whereas GB (on the right) has a month’s head start.
But I have to say that BB is doing its best to catch up, and despite double surgery is looking reasonably OK. It is still too early to tell if the 4 weeks of haematoma and the duplicate surgery will prevent it from regaining a normal shape, but I think it’s doing its best:
I have not yet mentioned the special bra which has been my constant support over the last 6 weeks. I went to a specialist bra shop before the operation, as advised by the surgeon, and they measured me for a suitable post-op size.
The bras are cotton, front-fastening, and a cross between a sports bra and a bandage. Comfortable and supportive, and I have dutifully worn them 24 hours a day.
In fact when I remove the bra I feel distinctly uncomfortable, with the scar/suture line dragging unpleasantly.
I don’t know how much of this is physical, and how much is psychological, so I am making myself do without the bra every second night at the moment. Here it is:
After my visit to the surgeon in 2 days’ time, I intend to revisit that specialist bra shop and get fitted for a “proper” bra in my new size. I was previously a 24EE, so I’ll be interested to see what I am now.
