Trouble with reconstruction

What type of reconstruction did you have.?
I personally hated the berlei bra...it rolled up and was just too tight.
I was fitted post op with an amoena bra...very comfy. I have bought quite a few since and slept in it for 6 weeks. I still wear them now 3 years  on occasion and prefer them to most sports bras. They also come in black and colours. I wore them well over a year and on occasion a aaah bra.

Target also sell one...this is new and looks similar.

I quite like the previous one but this looks good.

I can now wear a tshirt wire bra but it took me probably a year to feel okay. When I gain weight now I have more fat on the side and as I have an implant recon it doesn't drop forward like a natural breast. I have found I need to physically pull this side boob into the cup now.
You could remove the wires if you need.
My breasts felt very hard for over a year. My breast surgeon showed me to basically squeeze the breast gently to help the muscle soften and relax. They become tight when I exercise and I need to remember to drop my shoulders and relax my chest wall. 

Also I wear a D cup even though I'm probably a C cup. I fill tbe D cup but it gives me a tiny bit more width with no pressure on reconstruction area.

Target also sell a non wired Tshirt bra. Plus lots of other wire free bras.

I actually started with a non wire maternity bra initially (after the post op bra then proceeded to a normal one. I sort if thought them as training bras again.

I hope this helps.

Have you been to a Remedial
Physiotherapist specialising in breast cancer patients and lymphatic drainage.  I can vouch it helps and whenever the pain in my sternum starts then I  need an appointment. 

A good fitter is crucial for comfort.  Here's a link to a website that may help

Hello
thankyou for answering have been fitted by someone who says she specialises in mascetomy and the bras I bought are murder 
have tried all sorts and have just bought from berlei a post surgery one and still find it uncomfortable 
my breast gets very firm through the day and becomes very sore 
have been doing exercises that I have been told to do but isn't helping at all
it feels terrible and don't seem to find someone similar or get a answer

Hi Otto  I found that many bras even special mastectomy ones have plastic stays in side seams that aggravated side of chest wall and where I know I get lymphoedema issues. So I remove any stays that rub
Also very important to get a bra fitted by expert . 
I have not had recon 
Bra fitting is always affected  by changes to manufacturing style and weight gain.
So important to find a specialist mastectomy fitter
Others here will perhaps discuss internal scarring due to recon 
All the best
Bright in hope
