Clothes after bl
I am wondering what kind of clothes you can wear after surgery....And what the time frame is. I will be getting a bl and tt and I am not sure when I will be able to lift my arms to get a shirt or dress over my head. How about a back closing bra? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I had my arms done at the same time as my breast lift so I wore front close clothing for about 2weeks post op, I think.
With the breasts alone, I am sure I could have raised my arms to get something on by 2 or 3 days post op.
I lived in my front close bras for about 2 months because they were comfortable and so soft.
My regular bra is an underwire, and I would have had to wear a cami or thirty between my incisions and my bra if I had tried to wear one for the first few weks.

My surgeon had me wear a front closing sports bra. I got one I love at Academy. I wore tank tops and yoga pants. I did not have any trouble getting my hands over my head.

Dr Sauceda has you wear a bra/arm compression garment for 6 weeks. Plus, I had the abdominal compression garment. I did start wearing a soft ribbed top over the bra/arm garment and under the body garment. I wore both garments for 3mo, then went into a soft sports bra. I think I was 6mo out before I went bra shopping. I hit VS 1/2 year sale and ended up with 2 bras and new underware.

I had my arm lift at the same time. I was able to wear big tshirts that I pulled over my head within a week post op. Ilike Chris, I wore a soft tank top with a compression garment over it. I'm five monts out and still living in sport bras that I pull over my head.
