Still uncomfortable without a bra 4 months post-reduction — normal?

Hi everyone!

I had a surgery in early June (so about 4 months ago). At my August check-up, I was told I’d healed well, everything looked good and that I could stop wearing a supportive bra at home and could even wear underwire again.

I feel great overall, but there’s one thing I can’t seem to get past: I still can’t go braless comfortably, not even at home. I’m around a 32E now, and if I don’t wear some support (even just a bralette), my breasts start to feel heavy after a while — not exactly painful, but pulling, heavy and kind of uncomfortable.

Is this just part of the healing process or is it something I should be concerned about?
