Macom help…

So I am a 34c having 400cc overs to be a dd my surgeon has told me to get a 34dd bra for after and I’m planning to get one macom and then some m&s too.
I can’t find any options for the cup size on the macom site?
Did you get a bigger back size for swelling?
X

Oh just realised that they dot have cup sizes but what did you do about the back size?

I was told to go up a back size because of swelling… Might be best getting the macom in the 34 for when the swelling dies down a little and get an m&s slightly bigger as the macom wil be more pricey and then will hopefully last the 6 weeks of sports bras! Up to you though! I got told at my pre op check so f you have worries check with them then 🙂 my nurse said not to get macom so ive had various others!! x

Macom come is sizes not band width, a 34 would be a medium (covering larger 32-large 36) and the cups expand so no worries there
With sports bars get a band width more then normal, so a 36, but deffo more then a dd an e would be more fitting I think for swelling, afterwards you can always get fitted fully for one, just like a normal bra, so you feel supported enough xx

my pc told me my surgeon hated macom bras and ive heard a few complaints about them, have you looked at m&s bras?

no i havent looked at m&s yet but have seen alot of people talking about them on here.
what other types did you buy?

Thanks girls

Primark do cleavage and sports direct have some too also tk max

I was nothing but pleased with my macom bra- my surgeon recommended it. all you need is your underbust measurement for macom b/c the cups are expandable. the customer service is great so if one size doesn’t work they are happy to exchange/return! try it out!:)

I’ve heard nothing but complaints about them to be honest

yeah its different for everyone im sure.. just finding the right brand of compression garments! just avoid normal sports bras

Why would our surgeons advise normal cheap sports bras if they didn’t do the job? Mine give me just the right amount of support and didn’t cost me an arm and a leg! X

Avoid normal sports bras!!! Who are you? All our surgeons have recommended NORMAL sports bras. Your the only person praising these macom bras and to be honest I don’t think anyone Is listening

Oh and my surgeon is 1 of the best that’s why I chose him and he doesn’t recommend them, Infact my pic said he is highly against macom bras

I’m having mr kazzazi, I’ve not asked him which post op bra to buy yet but I’ve heard he’s against macom, surely a surgeon with a cv as impressive as mr kazzazi’s wouldn’t recommend a normal sports bra if that wasn’t suitable

Lisa do you work for macom? Everything you have commented is on is about macom, but yet on your profile it doesn’t say you are post op it says you are researching?

Im wearing a macom bra and so far found it fab (although tight with swelling as i didnt get the size up) BUT i did also get a cheapie sports bra from asda for when macom is in the wash. Both PC and surgeon recommended and pc was wearing hers when i went for consultation. Its down to personal preference, dont think there is a right or wrong answer for which is best. Just follow surgeons advive 😀 x

Have one hate it . Same with shock absorber … Love m and s and primark ! Nurse was amazed mine was primark ! £3 jus sayin (:.

My surgeon gave me 2 macoms and they have been brilliant. So comfy, easy to sleep in. I am a 30 back and had a size small. I had an uplift and polyurethane implants too which take longer to soften so I have to wear the macom for 12 weeks in total!! I’m at week 9 now so not long to go! Go with the advice of your surgeon, they advise what they think works best with their surgical technique and they are all different. If you go against that advice you may find you compromise your aftercaere. My implants (polyureathane) dont drop like normal implants and adhere to the pocket so my post op needs are different to most people on here and for me the Macom was perfect!

My surgeon and consultant was both against macom bras. I was told to go primark or m and s xx

My surgoen, pc and nurse all told me to get a macom. I am 5 weeks post op and love my macom now, but hated it at the start. You need to wear what you feel comfortable in really. 🙂

Hi, i bought one zip up one from M&S,but returned it as i found really comfy one from Sport Direct – sport bra – Lonsdale – £7.99 xx

well…. my macom arrived it is like something my grandma would wear!!! x

lol. sexy

it aint meant to be pretty its meant to help your healing. Its only a few weeks so it will be worth it in the end!

No I do not, and I’m not good with this tech stuff clearly so I still need to update my profile but my pc is rubbish. Whatever products you guys want to use is great! I was just putting in my two cents, sorry:)

i got mine from M&S. zip front.i just tried them on and feels really comfy.£22,50.a bit expensive.but really good.choice of colours available too.but not getting another.will get more from Primark.is just for 6 weeks time anyway.so no point to pay alot.

I’m going to try M&S!
