Hi
Ive just had a 5cm by 5cm removed from my left breast and was wondering about Bras, i keep seeing advertised these tank tops with build in support, i know that they do my size DD BUT wondering if they would really work as dont want to waste my money, has anyone here brought any, if so whats your honest opinion of them. Also would it look odd as my left breast (once swelling has subsided) is going to be a lot smaller than my right one.
I had a Twiggy and a Dolly. They gave me a prosthetic to even things up. I wore it for weddings , Christenings and funerals. Before getting it I paid nearly £100 for a chicken fillet. Rip Off cancer target. Now M and S do them. Before BC I wore the vests with hidden support. Good but not like a well fitting bra. I think you would find it fine for round the house especially at DD.
I tried M & S fitting service and it wasn’t a great success . She gave me a bra to fit the Dolly which egg boxed on the Twiggy side. I went to an independent local shop and she was brilliant.
I have to say having no boobs means no complications of bras.
As for one being smaller than the other, no one seemed to notice on me. Nobody has come up to me yet and said you’ve no boobs!! People are too caught up with their own lives.
Three times! What did I do?
One side due to surgery was small maybe a B.The other side due to surgery was a DD. One side looked like I was Twiggy. The other side looked like Dolly Parton.
Three times! What did I do?
Oh i get it now lol
Think i will be a Twiggy & Dolly once all my swelling & bruising subsides
