How long after ps do u wait to get a bra fitting?



Recommended Posts

I had my PS on Monday and have been sitting home watching what not to wear on TLC. It gets me very excited about my new body. I had a breast lift, tt, and a little Lipo on my thighs. I'm curious how long I should expect to wait to go bra and clothes shopping. I know I will have swelling for a bit but will this be a gradual process? Any feedback is helpful. Thank you!

I had a minor reduction/ lift 5 years ago. The swelling was gone after 6 weeks. I wore a front close sports bra for 6 -8 weeks then was able to wear normal bras. I have very dense breasts so not a lot of sagging just very. Heavy. Now they are really pretty ;)

I would say 6 weeks - BUT - Then I would say - Do not buy a million pretty bras - Just buy 'some'

I say this as 6 weeks after surgery I was a 34D (Down from a G cup)

All was well but 1yr after surgery I was a C (No weight loss etc)

Now - I am a B to C cup depending on the bra!

I like being a B cup to be honest (After being a G cup - It is a relief) - But I sure wish I had not bought a plethora of bras that are now sooooooo big on me...

Love love love my new boobs! But I wish I had not bought out the shop of bras LOLOL

Did you have implants put in or just a lift?wondering why they went down in size after your operation?

Thanks for the great info. I didn't have implants. My PS said the only reason I was a DD was because of the width of them. When he was done I should be a C. I can tell a definite difference in width. Super excited. Thanks again for the replies!

I didn't have implants either - When I went to him I begged for a B cup but he said that the best he might be able to do (he would see in surgery) was possibly a C cup - After being a massive G cup I just wanted the smallest possible boobs!

I am not sure whey they went down again - But I m sure glad they did :-)

I think maybe they are not as full on the top part of my breasts a little bit - But I am so happy to be able to turn over in bed without them being in the way etc

I think they were a D at first because of swelling - Then were a C for a while and maybe i might have lost a pound in boobs yet gained in my butt maybe? To make them a tiny bit smaller - Who knows really it is hard to tell.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
