I have my surgery next week and have read about a supportive bra is this a post surgery front fastening bra i need? Thank you in advance xx

  • Yes, M&S and other stores such as asda and primark do them. They are like a crop top and hold your boobs close to your chest wall to keep them from moving about whilst healing. I got a few of the older style M&S ones at a good price from  e-bay x

  • Aw thats great thank you so much i will have a look about xx

  • I wore a Nike high impact zip front bra I already had for running and it was perfect! Because they are designed to stop everything moving about too much they feel snug and provide compression which helps with swelling and the padding felt comforting and protective too. x 

  • I just used my normal sports bras, not front fastening.

  • Traumatic stressful morning. Went to have magseeds put into lunps. Ultrasound was taking a while knew something wasn't rite. Another lump 10mm sitting behind the 15mm. Wasn't sure if a hematoma as I bruised and still am after biopsy. Surgeon rang images sent. Possibly surgery was going to be put back. Surgeon will take that new one as she is going back to chest wall so is confident. Surgery is still on for tomorrow. So frightened by today x

  • It’s horrible to have more curbed balls thrown at you. I hope the surgery does go ahead tomorrow with no more surprises.

  • Thank you she is very happy to proceed, but i wasn't expecting that today. It was awful x

  • I bought off Amazon and more comfy than my m and s ones. 

  • I’ve just bought 3 sports bras from M&S with a front zip. They seem v supportive and comfortable. Fingers crossed for surgery in about 10 days time.
