Dear friends, a couple of days after my bilateral mastectomy, the surgical bra that i got from the hospital was giving me blisters. it was made of cotton and lace, really nice but very uncomfortably after 2 days.

At my first DR appointment, i purchased from my plastic surgeon this bra "Marena Surgical Bra with 1" Elastic (F5 Certified Compression Garment). It changed my life. it's very comfortable.

I paid $85, but now i realized that Amazon has it regular price $35 and currently on sale for $28 dollars. I don't make any money out of this, but this bra made me more comfortable right after surgery and did think someone else can benefit of this, specially for this low price

I also would like to hear what is a good bra for the expansion process. I'm in my third filling, using an sport bra, but i'm tired of the same sport bra. I purchased 8 so i can wash them at the end of the week, but since all of them are equal, i'm just tired of the same thing.

My incision (which has not healed completely) is under my breast, so i need a long band bra, which are very difficult to find.

All the advise is very much appreciated.

Sandy
