Surgery incisions, location

[Havasumoma 250]

I have read that the largest incision is on the left side. Is it higher, like under the breast area or lower, more toward the waist?

Just curious about the wearing of a bra after surgery when you are fairly large on top and/or irritation from your waistband.

That's the largest one? Did your pants rub or irritate it?

I actually have two incisions at the waist level to the left of my belly button... And my pants do rub there. I have to wear super baggy pants.

I've had no trouble with a bra - incisions are lower. Large incision on left probably dead between belly button and breast, it's the highest one. I recommend yoga pants with the flip down band - only flip it up. Covers up to about bra line. Old Navy has some I like. For reference, I am tall 5'10 so may be more compact for others.

Used the same yoga pant method when had gall bladder removal last year and incisions were totally different locations.

I ended up with single incision through my belly button. It's pretty sore (sleeved on 9/19), so I have to wear loose dresses.

Loose dress or yoga pants sound good to me. Thank you ladies.
