    I had a left mastectomy with immediate silicone implant so not comfortable wearing my underwire bras. I actually took the wire out of the left side. I don't wear them often but if I'm going out and want a bit of a boost on my right side (new breast is a bit premier) then I can get by for a night.  Definitely going for comfort on a daily basis though!!

    Ooh, predictive text strikes again!! I meant my new breast is a bit perkier! Definitely not premier haha

    Thanks for the info @Mima. I totally agree with the ease of getting crop top bras on and off - I wear a crop top as a sleep bra now so that all of the sensational work that my surgeon did in giving me my implant stays supported. :)

    @RNSW, Rita, I did so love my underwires but  was told not to wear them with my implant cause it's believed they can cause encapsulation :( so away they went and I suppose because they were the only type of bra I wore I never thought of them comfort wise and actually found the transition to wire-free a bit more constricting. Funny isn't it how you can get used to one thing. 

    @Hopes and Dreams, just got to say you smarty pants - didn't even enter my mind to take out the underwire!!! DOH!!! Oh well - you know what I did think - oooohhh a new reason to go shopping :-) he he.   And I do like the idea of having a premier breast! I think our implants definitely fall into that category as well as perkier ;) . Xx

    @Socoda, we've had a similar journey with our treatment - I'm also wearing a crop top bra to sleep.  Otherwise my implant feels "heavy" when I'm on my side. Plus I worry about scratching myself since I'm numb! Yes you are right, we do have award winning, world beating, premier breasts!!!

    A tip I found with crop tops is to step into them and pull them upwards instead of over your head. I cannot believe how much easier that is.

    That sounds funny , stepping into a bra. :p Ever since surgeries I sleep wearing a crop top. It's like a security blanket

    There is also a lovely range of wire free bras designed by an Aussie lady who has had breast cancer and couldn't find any nice bras so has made her own range - check out www.redfernlingerie.com.au
