macom medical compression bras

My surgeon has suggested i get one of these, but is it really necessary, or will an asda sports bra do?
Has anyone used one and think theyre worth it? Theyre about £35 so i dont want to get one if theyre no better than cheaper ones.

I had a very simular one which was supplied by the clinic I went to I have to say it was very good.. I also brought a M&S zip front one which was good too Personally if my PS had recommended that I buy one then I would have, after all he know's best and your spending alot getting your new boobies so althouh £35 is alot it isn't really if you know what I mean... that said lots of girls go for the Asda sports bra's.... it's so so difficult isn't it.. Jx

I guess if i dont go with what the surgeon says, then ive got less comeback later if anythings not perfect.

As your surgeon has only only 'suggested' this bra and not stated that you must use this one throughout your healing the choice is yours really babe.

Most ladies I read do use the Asda sports bras with no problems at all, I've used them myself too and found them to be supportive enough, but my personal preference is the same bra jet mentioned from M&S, the front fastening zip up, it keeps your boobs firmly in place and you feel fully supported and comfortable, low band too so no rubbing on incisions and it's only £18. xx

When i had my appointment with mybreast, the personal advisor mentioned that same bra. I think they have a partnership with them and probably get a comission for recommending their patients to buy their bras.

But the surgeon im going with said that the bras from asda and tesco do the same job as the expensive ones, so he told me to get the ones from asda (which i did!) i got one of the post surgery bras and one of the sports bras.

I also was bra window shopping on la senza and saw a really nice sports bra on their site which looks supportive and decent enough to wear out for £18. I think i will be ordering myself one of those after the op!

Hey I have ordered one of the front hook Macom bras to wear post op. I have been wearing this since and find it very supportive. However I also bought the marks one for when the other is in the wash. I figured I can wear the macom one mostly in the earlier says for support and then switch to the marks or la senza ones. I havent had a chance to check out the asda or tesco 1's but will do as many ladies on here seem to be very comfortable with them.

Im sure it doesnt make a huge difference as long as it gives you the support and comfort.

Hope this helps and all the best for your BA huni x

I think it's ok to have the asda bras and I wore them myself but I also had 1 expensive post surgery bra that was super supportive, I found this really good on the days where your boobs feel achey and like they will fall off, put on the super supportive bra and you'll feel better in no time.

I re-read the letter and it doesnt just suggest it, it says i will need a compression garment and that it can be purchased from there, so i decided to buy one. I guess £30 isnt a lot when im already spending 4 grand on a boob job

well it arrived, and even though i havent had my op yet, i dont think it will fit. The band is too loose, and the cup looks too small. Im gonna send it back and get a royce silver i think

Thanks, gals, for the good topic. I was searching for advice about bras for my last consultation with MYA before my *big* BA! I was given the same directions to buy from Macom, so it was a good thing I read this first so I could ask a few probing questions! My surgeon told me that they recommend medical grade quality BA bras because the compression will not loosen over time like cheap bras (sports bras, etc.) might do without you even noticing! This way the support is given around the back to the best degree keeping everything in place so the new boobies won't go wonky on us. I agree with Abbie that after all the pounds we're spending on getting them done it certainly makes sense to spend a few more to maintain them!! I was even cheeky enough to ask if MYA gets some kind of kickback from it, and he said they didn't - he just recommends them because he knows they are good. He still left it up to me to get what I wanted, but I went to the trouble of getting a good board certified surgeon...so I think I will just take his word for it.

My surgeon recommended me to buy a bra from Recova Post Surgery and I bought the "All cotton Bra" and I can firmy say this was the best buy I made, it cost me £29.00 but it was worth every penny, very comfortable and supportive and with front openings and wide shoulder straps which is very important after a boob job.
I also bought a bra from Macs but it was not the same and left my boobs with pointing shape whereas the Recova one gives you a round shape on the boobs which looks great!! I think the website is link removed

As your surgeon actually endorses the bra and probably gets well paid to advertise it macarena it is of little surprise that he's going to recommend it! Personally I'd rather take a recommendation from a woman who has gone through the same procedure and found a bra that she found to be helpful and is not finacially or comercially gaining from the recommendation.

It would be nice if you would introdce yourself without advertising on the forum and tell us a little about YOU hun. xx

Hi Cookie,

I had two breast surgeries myself, one 6 years ago and another just 4 months ago for a change of implants.
I have tried quite a lot of bras from different makes and I don't care if my surgeon its getting a commision or not, I don't really know.
I just know from my experience that they are very good. That's all ..xx

Thank you for taking the time to tell us a little about yourself babe, there is a 'Say Hello' section of the forum if you'd like to get to know some of the ladies here and feel free to join in on the forums, having had implants for 6 years I'm sure you've lots of info that could be very helpful and if you need any help or have any questions yourself (I know I still had questions after my second surgery 3 years later) just post away in the general breast aug section hun. Oh and congrats on your recent surgery! xxx

Cookie,

Thank you for the info, I will check it out and see where I can be of some help! xxx

thank you x - love your foxy photos!

p.s. - the thank you was for janeybird - think i clicked the wrong reply button!

Also - (not sure if my last reply was posted correctly either)....thank you to the moderator for trying to keep false posts / advertising off of here. This is for REAL GIRLS getting FAKE BOOBS in REAL LIFE !!!

I found the M&S zip up ones fantastic. Wide cross over straps at the back giving your back really good support. They looked exactly the same as the surgical bra's MB recommended and they were £40. I also like the M&S total support range. (can't see to get the link at the moment). Its totally plain with a satin band at the bottom which is wide enough not to rub on scars.
