Ooow 4 days out of surgery & my surgeon never put me in any sort of bra just wearing the strap to hold the girls down! 450cc silicone unders! Thanks for the ideas girls! Definitely needing some comfort...never been one to wear no bra! I will post back with the bra I chose and a review! ♥ thanks!!

i just ordered Tonserio front closure bras for post op (surg 7-29) plus the breast cooling gel packs--the surgery kit on makemeheal.com. will update after i try them. the kit saves you $90! the bras are seamless near any possible incision sites as per the website. i am not a fan of bulky sports bras!

under armour..amazing but expensive

I sleep with an under armor garment. It is so comfy!! And it really hugs my girls because let me tell you, they are heavy!! The best sleeping bra alternative, for sure. Plus, it air dries really quickly so it's also good for nursing... Those leaky moments! Hand washing it isn't a chore.

You can search for this: Post Breast Surgery Sports Bra - Triumph SPORT... great bra. :)

I use champion, you can get them at target they are 16.99, they are duo dry & seemless. Very soft and comfortable! Lots of colors to chose from too! Danskin from Walmart is another good one, they also have a very low cut front hook one! Bali has very cute wireless ones also.

I may pick up some champion ones this week as I think at least one of them is on sale at Target. I went to Warlmart yesterday and couldn't find a single bra that closed up front. My Walmart must not carry them.

thanks for all the information will check this out. The bra the Dr gave me after surgery, made my skin itch. So i bought an all cotton one , no real support. yet. Will check out the ones below. Threw all my padded bras away. Looking forward to getting new bras.

I recently just bought some bras by a brand called Freya. They are FANTASTIC! Perfect fit, comfortable, nice sturdy straps. I would definitely recommend to anyone with or without implants.

I have loved Freya for years. I've always been very busty and between Freya and Bali I've got all bases covered. For super sexy stuff I go with a few other brands that cater to busty gals, but for daily needs and the best support, hands down Freya and Bali. Even better, you can buy them at Nordstrom's so, I don't have to hunt all over town for a good bra.

I love Bali bra, the cotton is thick but streches enough, i am a 36A amd got a large, it fits great around my chest but does make my boobs a bit flat. http://www.apparelnbags.com/bali/index.htm

I just bought a set of Under Armour front zip sports bra. Hands down, THE BEST!!!

Thanks Emc2lv, Did you order them online? It's hard finding the button up/zip up. Just went to Kohl's and bought some sports bras, but they didn't have any with buttons/zips in the front! :( Thanks, KL

I tried all the crap bras from Walhell and they all pinched, scratched and did not offer support. My go-to bra is Bali, wireless, style 3484 in a Med. and you can find them on ebay for about $11, shipped! fits like a sportsbra but hooks in the back. I even sleep in them!
Grace_M 1 Apr 2013
Target also had the Bali bras! :)

Varieties of bras,vests and body shaper are available in market that hold my b***s in and without any worry i can run and walk comfortably anywhere.

I wore the Danskin, foam, zip up bra (under $12, Walmart) home from surgery and for the immediate few days. My everyday, 24/7 (practically) bras are the Champion sports bras from Target. Practical and most of them have med/light support. I have 2 Champion bras that I bought from Target that have more support that I will wear if I need some more support for working out, etc. Again, well priced $18 range. Make sure you check with your PS because some will want you to wear a special bra for a week or so. ;) xoxo

I luv the champion bras! I have purchased 4 already! So comfy!
kden 15 Apr 2013
Hi NomoreBE, I just bought a couple of Champion bras, love them (I'm still pre-op) Did you have a hard time getting them over your head post-op? Thanks, KL :)
kden 15 Apr 2013
HI Grace, Did you have a hard time getting me over your head though, post-op? I like Champion too, but I'm a little concerned post-op. :/ Thanks, KL :)

kden .. I did not have a problem getting them over my head. I know some ladies who probably would not say the same but everyone heals and reacts differently. ;)
