Hey I am 6 weeks after my BR/Lift with small implants. My PS did give me his ok to go back to my horseback riding. I ride at least 5 times a week. I am a little concerned about my new perky high breast so. Even with wearing a sports bra do I risk them loosing there shape/position this early specially while trotting? I just paid a lot of money for them and I would like to keep them where they are. So do you have any suggestion or input on this? Can you recommend a serious supportive sports bra?
