Compression binder
Hi again ladies!
I just wanting some advice about binders.
I am 19 days past my mastectomy and doing well I think. I am still wearing my binder that was given to me in the hospital.
My doctor didn't really tell me how long I should wear it..I have seen compression bras. Are these something I should now purchase? Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks, Robyn

Hello,
interesting after my initial mastectomy I only had a binder on for 3 days in hospital and was never told to wear one after this. After my second one on other side which was done same time as a reconstruction I was not bound at all. So different advice,

- Thanks so much for the reply.i will keep on wearing it ,and tomorrow I am going to try and get in touch with my surgeon,to ask him directly.all the best to you. Robyn.
- Yeah I think I will.thanks for the reply.the nurse said something along the lines of " as long as it's not too uncomfortable,keep it on" but I thought that there must come a time when you take it off.Thanks again.
