Asked By:shelly8 in Boston, MA

Hi, after a breast reduction: 1. Underwire questions a. When is it 'safe' to wear an underwire? b. Is wearing an underwire only about comfort or is there a medical reason one should not wear underwire for a certain length of time? 2. Bra fitting a. I understand the shape will continue to settle over around 6 months, but will a bra 'size' continue to change over that time as well? b. One month post-op, do you think going to get a bra fitting is still too soon or is the size close to final?
