Any tips for post-surgery bras and soft-forms......

Hi everyone. I am a 47-year-old mother of 2 from Queensland, 8 weeks post-diagnosis and 3 weeks post-surgery (right mastectomy). It's been a whirlwind to say the least!

I am a larger breasted woman and my Breast Care Nurse ordered me the bra and soft form from Berlei via BCNA. I have not worn many bras since surgery but recently ventured out and found that I needed to remove most of the stuffing from the soft form and it just sits up far too high and I look really lopsided. I am aware that I can call BCNA to discuss getting a different size... but I think my age and being a mother has also left my natural form not as perky as the replacements šŸ˜³ Do they all tend to sit high and/or does anyone have any other recommendations? I have also trialled this week the KMart post-surgery bra which is comfortably soft but not supportive of my breast.

Any advice or recommendations would be gratefully appreciated. šŸ™
