I’ve mostly just changed shape rather than size xx

I don’t think it should be so tight that is forces your boobs into any direction/position. They need to be supported but left to their natural position to heal into the pockets at the moment xx

You’ll be swollen initially but that will subside after about a week and your bra will still need to be tight! I used to wear a 32 (30 now!) but got medium macoms and just couldn’t wear them after two weeks because they were uncomfortably big and rubbed my incisions 🙁 xx

But even before my op, if my weight fluctuated it never seemed to affect my boobs anyway. As others have said, if you do lose natural tissue from your boobs it can cause rippling xx

Having said that I know of girls who’ve gone abroad for their surgery and flown home within a couple of days.

I had my op back in October and had 325 and 350cc HP partials. I used to wear 32C but was never measured and now I’ve been properly measured I’m 99.9% sure 32C was the wrong size!

No problem 🙂 yeah I’ve found that as well, but wasn’t sure whether that’s due to them being partials or just because that’s that my boobs were like before! But yeah I don’t have much fullness at the top, which only makes them look more natural I guess which is what I wanted x

They use a really old method to measure which results in them giving you a band size around 4″ inches too big and therefore a smaller cup! Would definitely recommend getting measured somewhere else, but 32DD is a great start! Xx

I had Dr Andrea back in October last year so I’m 7.5 months post op now. I had 325 and 350cc HP partials which took me from a 32C (probably not my correct size at all but never got measured!) to 30FF. I coudn’t be happier, I just wish I’d done it sooner! Let me know if you’d like to see photos.
