I had a breast reduction/lift 3 months ago. I was a US 30G & had 100 grams removed from each. I’m currently a 32D, but I think I’m still swollen so hopefully I’ll end up a C cup. I’ve just been wearing bralettes, sports bras, and some wireless bras since the surgery. Is this supportive enough to always wear these instead of underwire? Or will it affect the longevity of my lift? I’m only 23 and 110 lbs.
