I have had a small lump removed from the middle of my breast. It hasn’t really changed much in size I am still 34 G. My wireless sports bras fit ok but too sweaty to wear all day. The wire free bras I bought just don’t fit they rise up at the back and dig in causing red marks under my breasts. The bra does not fit flat to my chest. I tried on my wired bras and they are so much more comfortable. I am 2 and half months post surgery. When can I wear wired bras again? I am worried the non wired bras will cause a problem as the dig in so much
I'm a 36/38G. I wore underwired immediately after surgery, My BCN was fine with this as my scar on top of my left breast and wires didn't touch and I needed support you stop pulling down on wound. But radiotherapy you need non wired as breast tissue delicate. I bought mastectomy bras but forget your normal size, it's trial and error. I needed bigger back size. I had two lightly padded ones as they were so soft and protective from knocks. Became quite addicted to them but gave no shape. You can also take wires out of old bras .
