Bra after surgery

Thank you Orchid23, I'm hoping that the meduim will be ok for me, I bought a M&S post surgery bra after my biopsy as all I had were under wire ones, I have a couple of pullon bras that are fairly comfortable so with the other 4 just ordered Should be ok now. I have plenty of front open tops but not night wear that will be next on the list.

I never liked the non wired bras, always felt they did not give you enough support.  But now I wear the non wired, I will not be going back. Much more comfortable.  They have improved greatly.  Ask your BCnurse for the little pillow.  I bought a v pillow for my first op, which definitely helped with making sure I didn’t move onto my side.  I sleep normally on my front, so I find that quite hard now not to be able too, at least not yet.  But I now use a little pillow to put under my arm, as it still niggles at night.  They did not offer me one of the little heart shape pillows at the unit.  I forgot to ask to be honest.  X

I’m due in for surgery next week and managed to get some in primark they have a lovely breast cancer range, even got a pretty non wired from fastening for when I’ve recovered from surgery 

I found them too small for me unfortunately

Hi Alison, just to throw a spanner in the works I had a binder on. They sat me up after surgery and put it on. I had to wear it for 72 hours. It was like a big tubigrip with a velcro panel. I put it on in the car so I didn't move about over the bumps! I'm wearing M and S sports type bras now. I'm day 13 now. Best wishes

Ooh goodness that doesn't sound comfortable. Glad you have graduated to bras. Take care

Hi Fifibee did you have lumpectomy or mastectomy ?

7 days to go now for my lumpectomy. So far got lots of bras, button shirts and PJs plus have treated myself to new make-up etc, thought Im going to make an effort to look as good as I can. 

All being well 8 days for me although might be delayed due to traumatised lumpy boob with all the prodding,, good luck  

Hi Alison, I had a lumpectomy - a wire guided excision. 

I haven't worn any make up yet! It's quite liberating. The feeling of relief afterwards is immense.

You'll feel and look glam in your pjs! 

Best wishes

I had a magseed inserted. I  don't normally wear make-up but since I started putting so on I think its boosted me a bit, as had some lovely coments
