Comfortable front closing post BMX surgery bra recommendations?

9lives70

I had a BMX on 2/28 and now can't seem to find a comfortable post surgical bra. I need one that either zips or clasps in the front and provides some level of compression that pushes the breasts closer together during the healing process. It's not supposed to be too tight but is supposed to provide some compression. Something soft and stretchy and comfortable needed.

Do you ladies have any suggestions on front closing bras that worked well for you?

Thanks much!

9lives - I think it will be hard to find "soft & comfortable" that combines compression. I used Hanes bras from WalMart that hooked in front but there is no compression.

I have a Danskin sports bra that zips in front that I like. Hate to admit it, but I got it at Walmart too. It's even pocketed.

I got a expand a band binder from the hospital. It has Velcro on the front. It does all that your looking for. Check with your doctor to see if they have one. Very comfortable.

My sister is a plastic surgeon and she sent me a bunch of post-op compression garments & bras. My favorite was from Marena: https://marenagroup.com/b-classic-bra-basic-a-c-cu...

Not too tight, but provides compression. Comfortable enough to sleep in. And it's specifically designed for post-surgery recovery.

If you'd prefer a cotton bra, Design Veronique has good options: http://showcase.designveronique.com/designveroniqu...

I have the Allyssandra 2" Cotton Knit Bra. Comfortable, but less compression than the Marena bra.

Marena - by far the best for compression - not too much - just right!! I still wear mine occasionally 5 years later!!

I had a MX and TE placement in Aug and found one bra- a zip front Jockeysports bra- to be the most comfortable. I just found two more yesterday at Marshalls to gear up for reconstructive surgery in May. The price was right too at 12.99.
