Bras after breast reduction: what are your recommendations for the best sports bra?

October 23, 2012
Asked By:Zxtastyxz in Augusta, Georgia

Recently reduced to a 36D. I am approaching 6 weeks post op and looking for a sports bra. I do a lot of high impact exercising and this bra will be utilized for that as well as a work bra. I normally use the champion powerback but it has underwire and I have heard not to use underwire because of the incisions. Please help my doctor has made no recommendations.
