WORTH IT
Well here they are almost at 5 weeks. I have to say I am having a bit of a love/hate thing happening. I'm so happy to have relief from the pain that I was in and love the way certain articles of clothing fit, but then I'll put on something else and think it looks terrible. I have no desire to go get fitted for a bra yet, as I'm still pretty sensitive to the touch. Anyone else have this happening to them? I'm wondering when I can go bra shopping, and what to even look at? I can't buy clothes until I get a bra...GRRR just feeling a little frustrated. But still SO happy with the relief and how they look.

I am feeling the same way about getting fitted except I'm right @ 4 weeks post-op. Think I will try the double bras u mentioned earlier because I do like the support of the front closure but the freedom of the regular sportsbra. Thanx for that idea and happy healings to you.

I think it is always an adjustment. It will take time to figure out what looks good on us. There are bound to be styles that work and styles that don't. I'm counting on finding something other than a tent that looks OK.

I hear you on the sensitivity. I'm only 3 weeks post but mind are so itchy and hypersensitive and yes, still painful. And yet they also feel numb in a lot of places, that's so weird.

That's exactly how mine were. They are better in the numbness areas, but still hyper sensitive, sometimes. It's a very strange feeling.

I'm the same. 3 weeks post op and they're still sensitive. I can only just place a little bit of pressure on them. Lots of tingling if I've done too much through the day. But the swelling is going down and they're starting to move a bit now.

Yes moving, mine are moving too, but have weird numbness in certain places and nipples are still pretty sensitive. Wearing a regular wire-less bra now which is a bit uncomfortable but not too bad, better than the lounging bras as at least the straps adjust. Time is flying by though tomorrow will be 6 weeks already!
