No more surgical bra - JustBreastImplants.com Forums - Breast Augmentation, Breast Implants, and Plastic Surgeons

Hey, okay, had another follow up appt today and heard words to my ears. MY PS said everything is looking good and I appear to be out of the woods. Both breast have soften however there is still slight swelling with both of them and my muscles are still tight. It was a bit of relief to hear this b/c I still feel discomfort and was wondering if it was all in my head, so he confirmed my feelings without my questions. I still have more dropping to do so maybe I'll get another size, maybe just wishful thinking. He said my scars are healing nicely, but I think lefty looks horrible compared to righty (check them out on my yahoo group), BUT lefty had the complications so I guess I can't/won't complain b/c it's healing and I'm better. He said I can use cocoa butter or Vitamin E on my insicions so now I have both and may just alternate the use. But I love cocoa butter and it does have Vit E, but my left scar...UGH I have been using the cocoa butter on the breast itself, but now I am going to work on the scars now, I'm so happy. The BEST NEWS, I can now wear a normal sports bra, so I immediately left there and went to Wal-Mart and got one. However I ran into a problem, there were only pull over bras so obviously I got what they had, BUT it really isn't comfortable putting it on, b/c the bra is restricting and I have to strain to get it on, so it doesn't feel too good. The one bra they did have with a front clasp had a band size, but NO cup and I tried it, and baby, the babies were falling out. I have to wear this for another 2 weeks and then after that anything I want. I'm still uncertain if its for 24/7, I guess I need to call and ask that tomorrow. Another thing, I still wasn't instructed to start massaging, but I do remember it being mentioned at my pre-op, so not too sure about that. I think I may have a bit of boobie greed b/c when I look down I'm like I could have gotten more, but these do look great on me and I'm happy with it. DH said now that I am wearing another bra that there's a HUGE difference (no pun intended...LOL) So tomorrow, I'm gonna try these babies out and see if I get "noticed"!!!

Do you have Target by you? I have the Champion zip front bras and they really work great.

I will go tomorrow, I would go tonight, but it seems that since I've gone back to work my my body is just tryin to adjust, it's like my immune system is shot. Oh, but to answer, Target is less than 2 miles from my house that's why I'm so tempted to go, but American Idol is on. Do they have the cup size? I really need that zip though. Thanks!

Keep looking at Wally World too. They get in different stuff all the time. Target is great like Skipper said.

It was such a relief when that surgical bra and band came off! I burned those suckers!!

Skipper · 02-28-2007, 09:14 PM

I got 2M and 2L because I didn't know what size to get pre-BA. I wear the M during the day and L at night. I was going to bring 2 back but ended up keeping them all!! I think Champion does have sized ones but I don't know if they are zippered??

Tamster · 02-28-2007, 11:54 PM

Hooray! That's great news! Congrats on the new avatar. Put that sports bra to work girl!

june5 · 03-01-2007, 11:45 AM

That is great news. Do you have to wear a sports bra or can you wear a lightly lined cup bra with no wires?

Also Kohls has some nice sports bras.

Slinky · 03-01-2007, 04:44 PM

Awesome! Congrats!

I had to wear the surgical bra for 2 weeks, then sports bra for 2 weeks then I was FREE for whatever I wanted at 1 month post-op! It's sooooo nice to wear a nice soft bra

CATCOOPER · 03-01-2007, 05:30 PM

How on earth did you find a wireless D at Target? Lucky thing! I thought they had a decent selection of wireless bras, but I couldn't find *any* of them in a D cup. For now I'm able to fit into a 36C, it's by Hanes and it's great because it's very lowcut unlike the surgical bra, and cheap so no big loss if I outgrow it.

Peachesp313 · 03-05-2007, 07:34 PM

Awesome news!! You must be relieved. Now that all that is taken care of, time go show those bad girls off, YAY!

So glad everything worked out for you...you had us all worried for you there for a while.
