Post-breast reduction bra recommendations?

I'm getting a breast reduction & lift on 1/10. When I go to my one week follow-up appointment, the surgeon said to bring a sports bra to wear home, as he'll be removing the bandages and the garment that I'll leave the hospital in. Can anyone recommend a good post-surgical bra? I'm thinking a front closure is a must, especially since I'll be having my arms done at the same time.

Thanks in advance.

I had an extended breast lift on November 6.  My preferred bra that I still wear for a few more weeks is the Isavela Compression bra. I brought it from MakeMeHeal.com.  It has a 2 inch band that does not stress the suture line and adjustable shoulder straps as well as adjustable front enclosure that allowed me to tighten up as the swelling went down.  My plastic doc said it was a great bra and has recommended to his patients since then.

Good Luck!

Thanks! This is helpful! I just looked it up, and the price is not bad at all. I was expecting to pay much more. I'll be ordering one soon. :)

I was told to buy Triumph: a front-closing soft sport bra black (in case of any discharges) and brought it with me to hospital. It was put on me in surgery.

I wasn't able to find that one for sale in the US, but thanks for the information!

I never found what I needed in my city but only in the intamites store at the hospital mall where my plastics were done. I bought two as there was a sale- buy one and the second was half price.
