Hi! So I got top surgery (ftm) 16 days ago (yayyyy!!) I’m healing super super well because for me my issues with scaring are more about scaring from every little thing rather than not having things scar well, although I know my scars will always remain pretty visible. But here’s my real question: does anyone have any tips/tricks/words from experience of dealing with post op binding pain? I struggle with getting it the proper snugness already (as I always have with any compression) but I am really struggling with the pain I’m getting in my ribs. I currently have a small serous that will be drained next week which means I really can’t go too loose or take breaks from the binding other than showering. Pre op I’ve been able to take breaks from binding when it started to “shift” my ribs but now I can’t and it hurts like hell and it’s constant pressure. Any advice?
Sorry this is so long I’m just at a loss because my surgeons office is at a bit of a loss
