I am due for surgery at the end of July. I have been advised to buy a front fastening wide strapped bra.
I have spent hours on the Internet -bought and sent back many bras. They just don't make them to fit my size !
Normally I would wear a 34JJ small backpack HUGE front! Nothing fits .
Any advice...... Please!
hiya I’m 2 weeks post op and this bra has been an absolute god send.. all the others I tried were so uncomfy and massive.
this wasn’t wide strap but this one is so comfy and doesn’t move just holds everywhere where it needs to be to heal. Xx
Thank you for the information.
hope your recovery goes well!!
Jenny
Thanks you..
Hope they are of use and I’m big chested btw so stopped them moving or pulling
I bought one from a bra shop. it was comfy and ordered 2 more so I have 3 (Royce silver). once i'd had surgery and the pressure wad came off it lies right on one scar so had to wear others. May be worth trying a few on to see where they lie and see where your dressings are. being comfy is an issue for me at the mo!
Thanks for that. I did try a Royce
but the sizing was all wrongI am a JJ cup size and whilst I am spoiled for choice normally .. I have been told so many times over the past few weeks oh we don’t do post op bras in YOUR size. Hello!! Big breasted women get cancer too!! It was so depressing! I felt like a freak!
Hopefully the one from woman-zone.co.uk will do the trick!
I found choice was limited. I'm a 34FF but only 5ft so big boobed for my frame. I feel very busty in it. shopping online no good as takes too long but going to check out that site - thanks.
It’s called abreast bracketing interior Pedide Mammoplasty
my tumour is very big so once it’s removed the whole breast will be lifted up. Should be quite pert afterwards!! She will reduce the other one in about 6 months!! It will take about 4 hours!!

Having just googled it , it should read inferior (?) pedicel mommoplasty!
I am going to have to read it again!!
