Meauring and bras

Hi,
I dont have my check up with the surgeon until august 30th which will be 8 weeks after my op! I thought most check ups were 6 weeks?
Im going on holiday early september and wanted to buy some bras and bikinis even to take with me.. will i need to wait till after ive seen him to know my size or can i have a measure at about 6 weeks? Im worried i wont be able to buy anything in time…? x

Hi Hun, I’m seeing my nurse at 6 weeks and surgeon at 12 weeks. Hoping I can get measured after my appointment at 6 weeks, too exited!! X

lucky you!! Ive got to wait 8 weeks to see someone.. think ill have a chekky measure at 6 weeks anyway x

Hiya, i saw my nurse at 6 weeks and then i was ok to get measured, had to wait till 8 weeks to wear underwired bras though, havent seen my surgeon yet, seeing him on the 14th August which will take me to 11 weeks, youll be fine to get measured at 6, some people go earlier! x

Ok, so i have to wait until ive seen the surgeon to get the ok for underwired bras.. thats ok 🙂

How did you find wearing underwire bras? x

i didnt wait to see my surgeon it was just my nurse that told me that. everyone seems to get told so many different things though it s weird! at first hated it! had to keep taking it off but they were just normal t shirt bras but now i have a strapless underwired one and a plunge underwired one and there much comfier but i was still only 6 weeks when i first tried the underwired one now im 8 so that might be why it feels better! i love not wearing one though feels better and especialy in bed! x

Oh ok, im worried that the wiring may irritate my scars or make them sore. I doubt ill wear one till ive seen my surgeon, such a worrier! x

your talking to the worlds worst worrier haha i was at my nurse every other day at one point! i no what you mean so if you feel like that then can just put some dressing near the scars but im sure you will be fine at 8 weeks, you can deffo be out of the sports bras at 6 weeks but just look for non underwired ones which is really hard so i just bought one and took the wire out x

Haha takes one to know one and all that!

Yeh most bras seem to be underwired dont they? I think ill stick to the sports bra for 6 weeks and then get some soft bras if i can.. after ive seen the surgeon ill be in underwires just have a feeling that my scars will be sore, so i might try plasters on them for a while. x

haha yeah true. yeah its so annoying! and the bigger you are the harder it is to buy bras ive had to get most of mine online! yeah that will be fine, one of my scars has only just closed up properly and still healing as it opened after about 10 days and mine are still ok in underwired now! x

Yeh ive already had a sneaky peek and couldnt see many nice bras or bikinis in larger sizes 🙁 Was going to go and do some shopping next month see what i can find..

Oh really? glad your allhealed now 🙂 if you dont mind me asking what size are you? x

no its so hard! especially if you want padded/plunge ones which i do to get the proper effect! yeah i have found boex avenue, ann summers and next but online! yeah well not fully but getting there thankyou! 🙂 well i have only been to boex avenue to get measured and they measured me at a 30E but i am gonna try elsewhere to! what did you have done? x

Yeh i deffo want some good plunge push up bras to show em off! Yeh im going to have a look at boux avenue.. was going to go to John Lewis and BA to get measured.
I dont know what size i am yet.. im hoping to be at least an E. I had 560 overs x

You will definetly make atleast an e I had 410cc and I have been measured a 32f in 3 places xx

yeah definately! yeah i wanna try a few other places soon. oh you deffo will!! i only had 345 overs and im an E now! x

Really?? WOW!! What were you before? I soooo hope mine are that big! x

I was a b x what were you? You should definetly be bigger x

i was only a 32a before so that might be why! what were you ? x

I was a 34b or very small c.. but i would say more a B.x

Im about 5’7 tho.. what height are you girlies? x i was told taller girls eat the implant cc size? x

ohh right! oh didnt no that! im only little! like 5ft 3/4 x

I’m 5 4 x

Yeh apparently thats what ive heard people say.. so where im a little taller i might “eat the size” a little, ffingers crossed i should be an E/F tho. Going to loose a little weight anyways so they look a bit bigger x

Haha I was planning on doin that but won’t be now they have started to ripple! Don’t want them to look any worse x

Im so worried about rippling… i can’t believe your surgeon didnt warn you or tell you about that. It was something i was always asking about with size choices. Gaining weight is deffo meant to help babe, it fills the skin out. x
