BRA HELP!

Hi lady’s
I’m really stuck on what bras to purchase I no about Macom I’m going to get one of them but we’re else is also good? Got my op on the 21st so need to get my arse in gear ?….. Also what did everyone wear to there op? As I don’t no what sort of top to take to wear after I want to be comfortable on my jounery home…. X

Hi @x-victoria-x there are some surgery bras on asda for £8! they have the hook eye fastening, iv got myself a couple of those! they advise a button up top for after the op as it can go on easier I assume!
what are you going for? size? overs/ unders? – iv got my op on 4th September xxx

@x-victoria-x I ordered mine online!
im a 34b and the max iv been told I can have is a 350cc. im worried its going to be too small, so im going to see again, but apparently my skin is really tight. 🙁 what size are you hoping to achieve?xx

@charlotte what size did you get I think we need a small Becoz a lot of ppl on reviews saying they should of got a small when they same size as us when they bought a medium, I wanted to be like a DD got offered 400cc & 450cc went for biggest yh go back Becoz u don’t want to pay all that money & not be happy girl defo go have a talk with your surgeon…. @nicole Newman yes I’m at fitzroy Aswel I’m nervous but more excited I’m just thinking about the pain afterwards ?? hoping il be ok…. Need to figure my outfit lol I went out today to try find a comfy tracksuit but didn’t find one 🙁 hopefully I will low, what size are you going? Xx

@victoria I’m nervous too haha. I’m more worried I won’t like them than the pain. I’m having 425cc unders. Which should get me to a D/DD. probably see you in there 🙂 anyone going with you? Xxx

Yh I’m hoping for a DD Aswel, that one thing playing on my mind Aswel will I look right afterwards I don’t want proper massive boobs lol, yh my partner is gona take me & wait for me, just need to sort out we’re to park…. Who you going with? @nicole Newman xx

@victoria yes I know what you mean. The sizes seem to come out so different on everyone. It’s hard to tell! My mum wants to come haha. They only had an overnight spot so I have to stay. Xx

Hi Hun I’m 15 days po had 450 hp partials I went to Marks and Spencer after my op and got fitted into their front zip sports bras they are expensive £24.50 but I love mine it’s so supportive and really holds me in xxx

@nicole Newman That’s exactly it they come out different on everyone so for the surgeons to only select certain sizes they no what will suit is 😀 can’t wait to have a nice pair of tits ??…. @rosy how u feeling? Did it all go ok? How was you when you woke up? Did you get a macom bra Aswel or just m&s? Xx

I’m 5 days PO and bought two asda post op bras (front fastening…sooo comfy) and two Macom bras (medium in nude and black). I would definitely recommend buying an asda one! They’re only £8 so you can’t go wrong. Not as tight as Macom too so perfect for sleeping. Xx

@victoria yes just have to trust them! Omg tell me about it. I’m sure anything is better than what I have now ?! Just talking about it is making me so excited. Not long now Hun xx

@hayley how did you find the asda bra sizing? Want to order one but worries about sizing… & what style macom bra did you go for?…. @nicole Newman roll on the 21st ???…. X

I only ever used this on my ops I found my mac wasn’t strong at all

I have used the Asds front fastening and the shock absorber. I found first 2 weeks when your a bit sore and not moving about too much the asda is fine as its long line so doesn’t irritate scars. But the shock absorber has been by far the most supportive and at nearly 8 months post op I wear it 6 days out of 7.
Mr kazzazi doesn’t like macom bras as they are intended for breast cancer paitents so not very supportive.

Hi all, I bought the asda ones too, just make sure the back size is big enough. I usually wear a 32 but bought a 36 due to swelling. I had 325 unders coming up to 5 weeks ago and I measure a 32E at the moment. The swelling has gone down but they do need to drop some more. I also bought a 2 pack sports bra from Tesco which have been comfortable. xx

@mush il have a pop into debenhams, did you not like the Macom bras? They are so dare aswel anit they….

@amy I’m defo going to buy Asda bra today & check out the shock absorber, are they hard to get on low as they don’t fasten up at the front do they?….

@laura if I’m a 34b what size do you reckon I should get I’m having 450cc do you not just get your back size? & does the boob bit expand like a Macom?…. X

La Isla do a good black zip up one that I’m finding more supportive than the macom. I ordered it on amazon for £13 and got it in 2-3days free postage . Best to wear macom for first week as will support u as u swell, then once u had ur post op I’d change to a diff one. But don’t go for the plunge ones, and make sure it does up at front as u may find y can’t life arms up to fet it over ur head for a few weeks!! X

P,s.. To wear after op if it’s not too hot wear a zip up hoody? That’s what I did. If not, a button up top (e.g casual shirt maybe?) basically anything loose (as u will be coming out bigger than went in on chest plus u will likely feel bloated!) and that does up at front (again, no lifting arms up for a while!!). I’d wear comfy bottoms as well, incase u feel sick or are bloated.

@emma YH that’s what I’m thinking a nice comfy tracksuit but il make sure the hoody is like a size 12 so me boobs can fit in ?? & I’m gona look up that bra you said now thanks girl xx

this one is great and its from asda and they sell it instore 🙂 so comfy and supportive! with sizing i would go with a back size up to your normal size and the estimated cup size xxx

been a pain with upload

it is a zip front one anyway sorry i couldnt upload a pic it normally does? xx

I had bought a macom bra but then returned it as Mr Kazzazi told me he doesn’t like them and that they’re too harsh on the incisions. He recommended the asda sports bras that you buy in a two pack so that’s what I’ve got ? I wore button up pjs which were perfect as my arm movement was very restricted so wouldn’t have got a top on over my head, not sure id have been able to get a long sleeve hoody on as I could barely move my arms behind me so the short sleeve pj top was good (bought from bhs). I also wore slippers to go home in as couldn’t get my shoes on even with help as it hurt! I wish I had plaited my hair as it’s now horribly knotty and I can’t wash it ? plaiting it would have kept it out of my way and wouldn’t matter when it got greasy/ it wouldn’t have got knotty. Good luck! Xxxx

I found La Isla’s shock absorbers very comfy and supportive. And you look in them like you have boobies and not two cones like in macom’s 😀 . Only £11. They are one size down on a cup and band so I would recommend for first 2-3 weeks to go 2 sizes up. Swelling is very big at the beggining X

@monica im going to order one of those bra’s you posted the link to, I have no clue what size to order though! im a 34A at the moment having 375hp Partials so hoping to be a DD….do I go with 34DD when I order?xx

Hi girls I had my pre-op and my MYA nurse told me that the macon bras have specifically been designed for breast enlargement and developed with plastic surgeons which is why I bought my macons. I definitely found it to be supportive enough and I am already an E so hopefully that will reassure you! Hope this helps 🙂 xx

@charlotte c : If I was you I would go bigger on a cup and band. It is hard to predict the size after surgery, I have ordered 2 sizes of pink one: 38 E and 40 DD. I was 36B before surgery, had 425/450 overs. Just after procedure 40DD bra was perfect as the swelling is very big and you cannot have a tight band(incisions). It looks like La Isla’s bras are on a small side anyway, you can see this in Amazon reviews. X

@victoria I’m feeling fantastic Hun when I woke up I was very sick just like exorcist projectile vomit but I had to have meds to clot my blood which is not routine (just something I personally have to have) I was uncomfy but not really painful ! I really wanted a asda bra but my asda didn’t have any in my size and I struggled to get back fastening bras on, my macom is very comfy but as other girls have said its not as supportive as other bras and the good thing about the shock ab and the m&s is that you will use them after you’re healed the macom is useless after as it doesn’t make them a nice shape and i don’t feel like I’d find it supportive enough to hit the gym in it !!! Xxx
