7. Any sports - type bra that hooks in the front
will do fine for recovery. Get one a size larger than you usually wear, just in case to compensate for swelling and bandage. I bought mine at K-Mart - used them after my bilateral mastectomy.

Ask your surgical oncologist or his nurse, they should have some suggestions. Be careful of the ones w/ velcro fasteners in the front, they can be stiff and scratchy.

Here's one that zips

Are they doing an excisional biopsy or lumpectomy? The surgery isn't all that bad, incisions are very small, you should be feeling fine in a day or so.

Good luck on the atypical hyperplasia! Let us know how it goes!
