My surgeon said to get a bra that opens in front, no underwire, no cup size. Any recommendations of bras people have used for this purpose -- he's also removing skin in the back, so it has to be soft .

My surgeons office actually supplied one just like that.. I find it interesting they make you find your own.

Ugh - I cut the tag out.. Wish I could help. Hope someone else chimes in!

If you don't find one, PM me - perhaps I can send you mine.

I got a couple of bras at Walmart that are sports bras that open in the front...by Danskin, I believe and recommended by someone on this site! :) They were $11.97 each...

I wouldn't even wear a bra after surgery.

The hospital gave me one, and then I bought 3 at Walmart by Danskin. They actually had a few different types. They had them hidden and I had to search for quite a while to find them. Thye do have cup sizes but they are soft, I went with the biggest (D) and hoped for the best. They seem to work just fine.

Thank you -- the Danskin sounds great. I'm not far from a Walmart, so I'll check it out ASAP. It would be good if it is wide in the back so that it does not cut into the back incision. If I can't find that, I'll look for sports bras that open in the front. He definitely said to bring a bra for after the surgery. I remember when I had reduction in 1984, I had to wear a bra 24/7 for a few months.

My girlfriend gave me a Chmapion bra that zips in the front and offers support. You may want to try sporting goods stores or Hanes online. Good luck! I had my consult yesterday! Can't wait to get surgery over and the healing and recovery started!

I couldn't find a bra I liked that closed in the front (tried the Walmart ones, but I'm tall and the straps were too short and it rode up in the back). I finally found this one from Kohl's and love it. I also saw these at Belk's. It's the Bali Comfort Revolution Wire Free. I'm about a 34D, and the Small fits perfectly. (I was skeptical because it looked really small, but it actually does fit.) I was in a full-body compression garment for the first four weeks due to multiple surgeries, so didn't start wearing this until week five.
