Has anyone else been told to do this? I was told to sleep on back for first month and to wear a bra all the time (no time limit stated) - has anyone else been told this? Its so hot here i am uncomfortable after 4 weeks of doing this.........if you were told to do this how long for? I can sleep as I wish now.....

Also what is the average normal fill for expanders? Mine was 90ml, I said stop at that point after reading people here saying less is more long term.....it was a 20% increase on the original saline implant.

    Hi Lily

    Once I had my swap out surgery my PS didn't advise me either way about wearing a bra. He didn't want me sleeping on my stomach for a few weeks until everything settled ~ so I slept on my side for a few weeks.

    The only time I wear a bra now is when I go to the gym or go out running.
