I think I wore my Berlei bra and soft form about 3 weeks post op.I got fitted with a prosthesis 6 weeks post op and it was so much better than the soft form.I wore loose shirts with scarves or waistcoats for 6 weeks until I got my prosthesis. I had to go through my wardrobe and either chuck or doctor any low neckline tops/dresses.Luckily,you won't have to worry about swimmers for awhile unless,ofcourse,you swim in a heated pool.In which case,blog me for how to "doctor"a swimming costume. Best wishes,Tonya xx
