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.
