So I have a question, my surgery is December 20th, and I know the incisions will be on the upper half of my stomach and hen in the middle and such. Did anyone ever have trouble with bras? Or do you know of any solutions to be had with them? I bought a Bralette that wouldn't be as much pressure on that area but I didn't know if anyone had a better solution!

Thanks!

_{Never had a problem, I started wearing under wires about 3 weeks post op with no issues.}

My highest incision is right under my bra line. I just bought a sport bra hoping that would help waiting for the mail

I didn't wear a bra while I had staples in. My team said they could get hooked on a bra since one was at the lower bra line. After I got the staples removed it didn't bother me

Bralettes are the way to go. One of my incisions was right under my boob and there's no way an underwire would work.

Also, you might be too swollen to tolerate an underwire bra for a while.

I was wearing my underwires right from the start with no problems what so ever.

I wore front hook sports bras for two weeks - then when I went back to work switched to underwires.

No way I was rockin the uniboob at work.

Luckily it wasn't a problem - but I think initially the front hook thing was key because I can't put my bras on and hook them in back. I put the on backwards and scoot then around. Didn't want to scoot bra bands across my incisions.

My incision was under the bra line so no problem with bra..I did wear sports bra when I went out the first week..but back to work n no issues..I was not stapled tho they used glue for my incisions and it helped with healing..4wks n no scar there.. good luck on your journey

Same. My highest incision is about three inches above my belly button. My boobs don't hang that low (yet)!

Ok awesome!! Thank y'all! I really appreciate it! So excited for next week!

Mine was 12/5 and sports bra for the first week but mine is already healed and not tender so I could wear an underwrite if I wanted at this point.
