    Hi hun! Op on Tuesday and I have the following:
    -Macom 34 back
    -Asda sport bra 34 DD
    I heard that the M&S ones are really good too – think they are the front zip ones high impact sport bras
    In regards to sizes – you will go up a back size and depends on what CC you ordered, then that would be your cup size too 🙂
    I am having 415cc over from a 32A, so hopefully a DD for me.
    Hope this helps xx

    Hey, I’ve got the zip up m&s one. A back size bigger than usual and a cup size bigger than expected to allow for swelling. I think the black one is £22.50 and the pink one is £14 on sale at the moment but they only have a few sizes available online! Has everybody got more than one for straight after the surgery?! x

    How on earth do you know what cup size you will be?? Ive looked at lots of girls on here and the same pre-op size & same cc’s can give very very different post op results! I suppose its just an educated guess. x

    guessing cup size pre op is impossible! I tried to but ended up with loads of bras that didn’t fit lol! bought a macom cos only back size need, pricey but worth it as you don’t waste money on other bras which don’t fit! xxx

    It’s advisable to stick with your regular back size, yes you may get a little swelling but once that is gone a bra that is too big in the back wont support you correctly. You can buy bra extenders on ebay and amazon, you could get your usual size and use the extender if the swelling makes it very uncomfy. I was lucky with my 1st op in that I guessed DD and was right lol! There’s no exact science to it sadly and like a few of the other ladies have mentioned Macom bras are a great idea! I am going with a macom and I will measure my size right after the op then buy bras that are the correct size then. x
