That 3 months will fly by. I'm going to Westmead Public Hospital in Sydney, Drs Elizabeth elder breast surgeon and Thomas lam plastic surgeon.
A coobie bra I have recently come across, I found the arh bra great after my recent other surgeries, these are like that but with thin straps, bit prettier. Ill let you know how they go. The underwear is no seams and high waist to cover the scar area. I read it's good to have some kind of compression wear until the scars heal. Again i'll let you know how they go. I haven't had any advice from the surgeons or nurses about what to wear after the op.
Don't know about you, but I have found it really difficult to get good reconstruction info, so I'm very happy to share my experience if it helps others make their plans.
