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...
Hi @ShazLou
I've found the kmart post surgery crops the best for me so far (I'm also larger breasted) not a lot of support but comfortable. I also like the zip at the front. Best and Less also have a zip front crop in larger sizes that might be worth you checking out to see if that gives more support. I found the bra from berli / bcna was a bit awkward due to all those hook and eyes down the front in my larger size!, I also have a compression bra (for lymphoedema as I've had all my lymph nodes removed from under my left arm) and it gives me better support. It was pretty expensive though ($125 and my health fund didn't cover it either) it was a prairie wear bra https://www.prairiewear.com/collections/active . I'm not sure if that's helpful or not...
Best wishes
