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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
