To my understanding, it is.
Can we ask comments from those In The Know on Lactnet?

No, they didn't place a drain tube. Is that a standard procedure for a lactating mother?

>>>Doesn't she have a drain tube placed?
A comfortable supportive bra, but nothing that compresses or restricts normal expansion is best.
Just need the tube pointing away from the nipple and lots of absorbent pads covering to allow manageable draining as it heals from inside, and to keep little hands off the incision.
This from personal experience for a biopsy on what turned out to be a huge plugged duct.
Regular bandage changes were messy at first but manageable as it slowly healed.
