Originally scheduled BA for May 29 but my kids going to summer school so I rescheduled for July 10. So excited. Had my consultation in March. 360-390cc Saline under the muscle via transaxillary incision. I'm so excited! I had nice big boobies when Breastfeeding my youngest child but they're back to B

Bras?
LetsDoThis14May 2, 2014
Where's a good place to find non-padded, no underwire, open in the front bras for recovery? Also I'm not really sure what size to buy. I'm currently a 32 sometimes 34 B. I'm planning to get 360-390 (hopefully more towards the 390 cc's) so do I buy say a 34 C and a 34 D and a 34 DD just in case since there will be swelling for a while? What do y'all recommend?

Immediately following surgery and until the implants have fully settled, we recommend patients use a bra only for coverage not for support. Some patients will use a simple cami with the built in bra or a loose fitting, stretchy, sports bra. Almost everyone has one or two of these in their wardrobe. I think it makes sense to wait a couple of weeks after surgery before purchasing new bras.

Thanks Dena! I just worry about having "high beams" when I'm not at home lol.

I understand completely. If that tends to be a problem, you can cover with thin nursing pads or even bandaids sometimes cover well.

Hey, decided to check out your profile. Congrats on your upcoming surgery, it's gonna be here before you know it! I would definitely say go with the 390cc's. Best of luck to you :)

Thank you! Yeah, I'm leaning toward the 390. Just gives it a fuller look I think.

hi, July, awesome! I found some cotton bras at the jansport/vanity fair/wrangler outlet store in San Marcos TX at the outlet mall. You can get away with some wide band danskin sports bras from walmart, but I found the cotton to be more comfortable. The great thing about the front open bra is that it is easier to put on and take off. My husband did help me for the first month with changing my tops and bras too. Be sure to NOT move your arms at all higher than your belly for the first week. No kidding. Do you have a cute, light weight zip front shirt to wear too? Those first few days you will not be moving around much, but by week two you will want to wear some open front shirts or sweatshirts as well. Target has some superlight weight ones.

Hey, thanks! I took a bit of a plunge and bought a few types of sports bras and bralettes that were on sale at Walmart :) How do you wash your hair if we can lift our arms for a few weeks? Yikes! So not looking forward to that lol. I do have some light zip front sweaters I can wear. But in July that will be sooo hot! I'm thinking some button front shirts may be a better option?
