Kohl's has a great sport bra. Barely There style 4076. The XL stretched out enough to cover the big girls before they became little girls. I had 8 pounds removed 1 month ago. The bras still fit after reduction and are very comfy. I used 2 of my older ones after my 1st week post-op, I would just wash the bra out in the sink with a bar of Dial antibacterial soap and hang it up to dry. Never put these bras in the dryer, they will lose elasticity. Hang them up wet on the hanger they come on when you buy them, they dry overnight and are snug again the next day.
Hello, I found a sport bra at Kohl's. It is a Barely There style 4076. It fit over my breasts before having 8 pounds removed a month ago. I took one with me to my first follow up and was able to wear it home. It kept the pre-op girls "wrangled" with a bit of tucking to the sides but fits great now, I am a 40 full C. I got the XL size, the biggest it comes, and don't put them in the dryer when I was them. They really stretch and will return to their shape after washing. They was out good by hand too, I used 2 after my surgery and washed them out in the sink with Dial antibacterial bar soap and hung them on the hanger they came on to dry. They dry overnight. Good luck.
Hello all. I just joined the forum, mainly for some moral support. My BRw/free nipple graft was done 7/16/2012, not quite 1 month ago.
I am doing ok with my healing, but not doing as good as I would like to be. Normally I heal very quickly from surgeries, and no issues with incisions opening or anything leaking or draining. My right breast is looking great and I haven't had any problems with it, the left one is being difficult. I had a small hematoma when my dressings were removed a week after surgery. It bled for awhile, then I started leaking from the "T" junction. "T" junction leaking is just now clearing up but, I had a 1 inch section of my incision open up. That doesn't look pretty but it is nice and pink inside and does not have any odor.
With all of the leaking and seeping I have done, none of it has ever had an odor, it is just clear fluid and an orange clear fluid. My theory is, better out than in. My PS is not concerned and gave me Mupirocin 2% ointment for it.
My problem is, I have a tendency to stay moist under my breasts, one of the reasons I had to have redux, and it is taking what seems like forever to heal up. I know it healing, I get the white slimy coating on the opening, but I wish it would heal faster.
My question is, how can I promote faster healing of the area? I am leaving for Austria in 2 weeks. Happy healing everyone.
