Hello there this is a very long shot but I will go for it !!
I had a mastectomy back in March 2020 and have been left with a large flap on the side under my armpit on my side of chest just where your bra band ls.
Every time I raise my arm it comes out and causes pain.
My surgeon won't remove it as I am high risk and with covid going on.
I have tried many bras with added support and wider bands but it still happens.
has anyone else had this problem and if you have could you recommend any shops, online sites or even a fitter in the Dorset area that could supply a comfy bra.
there are so many bras but without wider bands !!
I am unfortunately rather large and wide around my back a 50 band size.
I hope all of you are well and getting all the support. that you need, take care and much love to you all and thank you in advance.
