Anybody had the experiences of wearing compression bras post surgery?

I want to share that I had a double mastectomy with expanders at first. Having the right compression bra is important. Measuring yourself around is important. The right fit feels snug, not tight.

Have you checked for other comments in mayo connect yet? I think others will comment too.
There is a solution.

Hi! @katgob

Thank you so much for replying and sharing your experience:)

Frankly when my young OT physical therapist mentioned compression bra, I clearly had no clues of what it was. She was very kind to take the measurement for me and commented:"Oh! you are tiny!"; perhaps due to the fact that I have the catagory "D" of breast density. Surely she is the expert here, I figured. When the order came in via postal mail, it was with size "XS" and definitely felt very tight for me. Should I purchase another pairs such as: size "S"? Are there other comments in Mayo connect that have the suggestions for compression bra post surgery?

Thanks again for helping me!
