Hi mum, I’m having surgery on Monday to remove a large absess and lump in my breast, the dr has told me I will have drains for about 2 weeks.
I was too surprised to ask questions at time, I’ll ask them before surgery but can anyone that has had them give me some pointers please
Can you wear a bra?
Are they painful?
Are they obvious through clothing or easily hidden?
What’s the best way to keep them secure?
Will I be able to carry my toddler?
Also any other tips or suggestions would be great fully appreciated. I’m not concerned about the operation just the drains are freaking me out

Your breasts will be bandaged up and your drains will be taped to your body. You won’t be able to lift your toddler, drains or no drains.
You should be able to wear a crop top style bra.
Thankyou. Are they painful while in?
Not really
