Good to know! I'll hope that's the case for me as well. :)

I didn't wear mine home, but once I started wearing mine a few days later I had no problem ****il they got too big in a few months).

Edited to add that once I put one on again I was feeling well enough that if I had to I could have gone to a store to get a new one.

Good to know! I also ended up not wearing mine home, and haven't felt the need to put one on again yet, but I imagine once I do, I'll be at a point where I can go to the store and buy a different one if needed. :D

I was happy to go braless for several weeks post op for recovery. I am also pretty busty. Being January when you get your surgery, just put on your winter coat and walk out. Nobody will know what's happening underneath. My incision was open, and the line stopped just at the bottom of my bra band, so I was glad to let it heal first.

Yeah, I haven't put on a bra since surgery and haven't felt the need to yet!

I never thought about this. I just bought a bralette so I assume I'll wear that. Thank you for bringing this up.

I ended up not wearing a bra home, and I haven't put one on yet since my surgery 3 days ago. I imagine a bralette would be fine, but I don't know if you'll even want to bother with that. :)
