Hi ladies,

Please someone help me - which Macom bra is it we are supposed to use? I've ordered the Breast augmentation surgical / Lifting bra but there's another one on the website that looks just as good it's called the I-bra [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] this also ok to use after op?

I looked at the other one but it's more expensive so went for the best seller as it says it is suitable for breast agumentation x

I am like you boney I had a look at them and then got confused which to go for. I have ordered the best selling one but I did hesitate with the more expensive one called the I-bra. I think it gives you more of a lift from what I gathered from the info. It looks like it has a seam which would lift them up a bit more. TBH though I never bought one. I've ordered my macom and then when I know roughly my size I can go shop and buy other ones... :D
good luck x

I am a bit of a donut as I bought my macom in preperartion for my BA in April but bought it in a large as I wear a 36A but I got measured properly today and I am actually a 32DD so it is probably going to be too big now.  Screwy

Hmm, it looks good...but my only concern would be the fact it has cups. you'd have to swoop and scoop for it to fit properly, but there's no way you can do that for the first month. But it's macom, it's recommended... have you found any reviews online?

Lucia if you've bought a large and you're a 32, it won't support you properly at all. All the support in a bra comes from the band. You can always sell it on here in the grab a bargain section to another pre opper.

Thanks Charlii, I thought I was being rather clever and being prepared by getting it now. It only came the other day so I might be able to send it back and exchange it. X

Hiya! sorry to jump on your thread, Boney! But I just bought the original macom (not the I-bra) in a large... I'm a 34 band normally so I thought this would be okay to account for swelling? Only thing is it feels super loose as it is now but that's probably because I've not got any bubbles to fill it with haha! Should I get a medium just in case do you think? :S I'm having such a hard time understanding all this bra lark! XXX

Ooooooh of course the cups Charlii? No, I haven't read no reviews would ask here first! Not going to buy one now though, maybe a few weeks past op when noobs have settled but I'll just use the standard recommended Macom!

Tink - my surgeons PA told me not to spend over £10 on any sports bra and just get the asda ones for £4.00! Xx

Yeh, the cups would be my concern, definitely. No offence Boney but your surgeons PA sounds like a crouton! No way are the asda ones supportive enough!!

Tillex, are you definitely a 34? Because so many girls on here are in the wrong size because of the +4/5 system. Take a tape measure and measure around where the band sits. Whatever the number, that's your band size. E.g. I measure a 31" so I wear a 32. I'd go from there. Some girls buy a size up to accommodate the swelling, but with the macom and the additional hooks sometimes you can get away with just the one. Remember, its the band size that is providing all the support.

Hey, I'm unsure of my bra size at all to be honest... I've always just got a bra that fits because I'm too embarrassed to get a fitting :S 
Okay so I just measured and I think I measure 31inches... However that's from a pound land tape measure so it could be off haha :) So does't that put me as a Small-Medium macom? xxx

It should be accurate enough, all of mine are from xmas crackers! So yes, you're actually a 32 band, so a small would be a much better fit. If you can, return your large to them, because it just will not support you correctly. If you cant, you can always try and sell to one of the other girls on here in the Grab A Bargain section.

It easily done, I thought I was a 36 pre op, so I had all 36C's for post. Boy was I wrong!

Hi with the macoms, the 1007 'surgeons favourite' this is a best seller based on price. It's a good bra at a resonable price and does everything it says. 
The 1010 is almost the same as the 1007 but it has a deeper and softer band for more comfort and support. 
The i bra doesn't have cups and the only difference between the 1007 and the i bra is that it has reinforcement under the breast to help you deal with the new weight of the breasts, this appears in the photo like cups. It isn't under wired. It's very similar to the mastectomy bra 1005 which looks like it has cups but is still the fully expandable cups like every other macom.
I'd say the i bra would be great for ladies increasing their size with large implants.

yeah it does look like cups but completly makes sense when you describe it!!

I just went on 3 surgeons recommendations when I asked they are made more for the woman who have masectomys etc

TBH I never got any of the macoms loool 

Boney I would def recommend in getting a good bra im not allowed any support at all and I said to my surgeon oh no I cant go braless it feels weird and he said to get crop tops or the cheap sports bras out tesco asda as they actually have no support

You are getting a good sized implant and an uplift you ned that good support and after paying grands for boobies what does £30 for a good bra mean in terms of money, i think taht you should get a good support bra honey xx

That's fab. I've seen them and tried them on, but could you let me know how you get on with it after your BA? I am thinking of stocking them so would be great to know how supportive they are after the op.
