Hi everyone
I am looking for recommendations on what bra to get post surgery.
I've been told I need to get a good sports bra and was going to get a front opening one but just wondering if this would be uncomfortable for the stitches? The zip front ones look quite difficult to do up one handed. Are the hook and eye ones better? Is it better to get a post OP compression bra?
Thanks
Hi
you don't say if you having Lumpectomy ,Masectomy with or without reconstruction . It would help if you fill in your profile and tell us a little about yourself and your treatment plan .
Feel free to read mine just click on my name.
I had a masectomy but I am a large cup so got a post surgery bra from M&S . Asda sell a twin pack sports bra in its post surgery section . ( online can be sent to store )
im sure others will be along to help ,once you have posted what op then someone with same will most prob come on .
take care
