bras ^^ so happy ^^ 32 D @@ & scar treatment

OK!!! im sooo happy. I finally figured out why i couldnt find a bra that fit.. its cause im a 32 D.

awe yeah. //

there is still definitely a tiny diffference in size between right n left but, its less noticable, and much less depending on the bra.

so i finally have some bras after a whole month!!!!! i was really geting kind of worried about that. im still a little worried but my dr didn't seem overly concerned.

they still dont fit me perfect. i have a sort of indent in my chest and really none of them manage to touch my chest in the middle the way they should. // but i guess i will just have to live with that.

it was so funny when i was in the bra place the lady actually thought i had a BA and not just a lift.. hahaa.. awesome.


however now im noticing that some of the bras seem to be irritating the horizontal scar lines! @@ the vertical scars are very soft and flat and invisible, and the areola scars are pretty much totally invisible. //

but the horizontal scar lines were always more red and also, seem to be being irritated a bit by the bras. rrf. so i was wondering also what was anyone's experience with scar treatments... // and did your bras ever seem to make your scars worse... // my dr told me i didn't need to put anything on them but id kind of like to. // i looked at mederma and vitamin e today and they both seemed kind of expensive for the tiny amount. also will -anything- help old stretch marks??

aw yeah! 32 D !!! im ... 'chuffed' ^^

Hey hunni, good to read you're so happy with your sizing!

The majority of us aren't advised to use anything on our scarring till at least 6 weeks post-op sweetness, so even though your surgeon may not feel it necessary for you to use anything on your scarring, if you 'want' to it's best to just give your clinic a call and asking if your surgeon felt your scars were healed enough to use moisturisers on them now.

The bra thing not resting on the skin, that quite normal at this stage in your recovery babe, its still possible you have some swelling, a lot of women have this and it does mostly settle.

The horizontal scars being irritatated by your bras can be eased by using a panty liner against your skin sweetness, it just cushions your skin from the hardness of the wires... you may also feel you need to ease yourself into wores, rather than just diving into them for a full day!

I found I had to slowly build up from just wearing an hour a day, till I could wear for a full day but it took about a month! xx

oh panty liners.. thats right. good idea... // yeah im only wearing them on and off for sure. // also switching between different bras seems to help. :> he wants me to wear the wired ones now to create a round shape.... its like part of the healing thing.. (and it is helping with that) so im trying to do it as much as feels comfy. i guess internally they will really be healing and (hopefully) changing shape for another several months. // (at least)

yeah i dont want to put any creams on them just yet.. im just sort of getting ready for when i get to six weeks. // most of the scars seem so nice i want to get right on it and hopefully they be kinda minimal. thanks cookie

Happy for you hun xx

thanks peachy! your avi sure looks gorgeous. //

Aw thanks hun. Bring on the summer. I have a feeling I will be purchasing a few string bikinis this year xx

thats for sure! ^^ totally agree. // dont think i'll look -quite- as nice in mine as you probly but, at least i can wear them at all now. hehe ^^

@@ seriously you guys will not believe how i looked before. i know my results dont seem too astounding but compared to the befores.. its astounding. //

Hi hun, just wondered if you tried a 32DD as well because sometimes when the bra wont sit flat it's cause the cups are too small, although it might be because your still healing. So glad you are happy with your result

oh misf thats a good idea.. i was sitting here looking at myself and wondering about that just now. // thinking that the width of D is pretty perfect (maybe a dinky bit tight) and what would need to change to get that extra room in front.. ?? its like an inch and a half away from my skin right now! i might be a litle swelled still but im not overly much cause my stretch marks are flat.. when im really swelled they get ripply.

actually a DD was the first bra that actually fit me.. i got it on clearance just by luck.. // and it was the first one that even came close to fitting properly.. but the cups at the top were a little loose. i dont have the 'uper pole' stuff so much, so i have to wear a demi, but next time i go shopping i will definitely try some on to see the difference... // this bra stuff has really been a learning curve.

thanks so much misf! hope you are well

You might find it's different in every shop and in some a D will fit fine in others a DD and the cut of the bra is also a major factor, it's definatly a learning curve and I'm still learning, nearly 2 years later lol

yes its definitely very different brand to brand and in different styles... i just called back and they have the one i like in a DD so its on hold (they have -one- in the store!) and i can try it tomorrow, and maybe see if there are any other ones also. // thanks a lot that was a great tip and i seriously wouldn't have thought of it. //

sure feels nice to have a bra that fits though.. guess im getting closer and closer. //

misf that was a really beautiful story about being in the woods im really happy for you theres a real man out there for ya oh yeah. // i know it. /

just got home long day shopping n very tired but wanted to tell you i am in a 32 DD right now and its seriously the most comfortable bra i have ever tried on. // look reeally good in clothes too and it doesnt hurt my scars. // i love it.

im not DD in every style but definitely in some. // even though i still do have sort of concave chest bone apparently and i guess some people just have that. but this helps a lot.

so now i really think ive got the bra thing somewhat figured super brilliant advice what an extreme relief thanks soo much

Hello my friend x I'm so happy for you and your 32DD boobies :boobchick:
