Soft form bra

Hi team how long after mastectomy can you wear your soft form bra and for how long at a time

  • It may depend a lot on your actual surgery. I wore the bra I had on when I went into hospital when I went home and for months thereafter, perfectly comfortably. Doctorโ€™s advice is important, but it also depends on the exact positioning of the surgical cut(s), your healing rate and the type of bra. 
  • Oh Gee I waited for 5 or 6 days before I could get the courage to put it on and then it was only for a few hours.  I took some of the stuffing out and itโ€™s more comfortable today.
  • I thought you had to wear it 24 hours a day I am two weeks out tomorrow and that is what i am doing
