Need a Product Suggestion

Bearhitch

So, I am almost a year out from my BMX. With two surgeons, one on each side, my scars are not exactly similar and the one side the scar does not go back as far. Couple that with extra weight and you have a bulge of sorts. I also feel like I am not totally flat and so some shirts really do NOT help hide that. The other day in Target I got an idea to try on some spanx as a shirt and was amazed at how much it helped smooth out the look while I continue trying to lose weight. The only problem is - I felt like a stuffed sausage and was terribly uncomfortable so I was wondering if anyone knew of a product like it that really just focused on the bust area? Granted - on the tummy is needed, but I will probably only wear that for special occasions. Any thoughts?

Bear, this is a great question. I follow a thread here on BCO where some of the sisters are working with a company to help design a compression t shirt, to help with this issue, and lymphedema, that thread is....just a second I have to go look it up!

......Shirt design for Lymphedema.....in the Lymphedema forum. You should check it out, they have brand suggestions. Good Luck!

I tried a "Cami Shaper" and it's pretty comfortable. Light compression. Would be hot in summer though. Get a size bigger than the chart says you should. Maybe even 2 sizes bigger. They run small. It has pockets if you choose to wear foobs.
