BL/BA question

For those of you that have had a BL/BA, how soon afterwards did you begin to wear an underwire?  I will definately go with the advice of my physician, but want to get a feel of what everyone else is doing.

thanks!

It wasn't comfortable for me until I was about 2 months out. The incisions underneath we sensitive. I didn't have to return to a job so I just kept wearing the compression bra they gave me in surgery and I bought a really supportive sports bra. I continue to wear the sports bra to bed just for the added support.

thanks so much for the info..

Hi Kim,

After my BL, I began wearing my underwires again at about 5 weeks.  I had the type of incision that is around the nipple then vertical (sometimes called Lollipop).  I did not have an additional horizontal incision under the breast (sometimes called Keyhole.)  I imagine for those who've had that type of incision, it would be much more sensitive.

It was the 2 month mark for me
