Swelling

Hi ladies

I have been reading loads of stuff an aware of the fact it can take a while for all of the swelling to go down, it's almost 4 weeks an my right is still bigger an still wearing this annoying strap to push the muscle down which is happening, I am currently in a 36F sports bra an hope I will stay this cup size I hope I can get in a 34 backsize, I think I'm just stressing as looking at them in the sports bra does them no justice, hope they look nice an big in a normal bra, can't wait for a normal bra on again.

hey hun, 4 weeks is still SO early in your recovery. From what i've read in my research and on here, it's best to wait until the 3 month mark before starting to judge/evaluate/measure them. You've got so many more changes to occur before they're settled fully. Try not to stress, just think, another few months of sports bra and then a lifetime of wonderful boobs :) don't get down hun xx

I can't wait to get this bra off lol, when I had my first BA I had them over an after 6 weeks was allowed wired bras confused why after 6 weeks with unders your only allowed non wired until 12 weeks, just wants to wear nice things, sick of hiding this strap an bra when socialising lol x

it'll all be worth it tho hun a few months down the line when they've settled properly :) they look a really good size in your avi and i reckon they'll look great when they've dropped/fluffed/settled etc :) xx

i was offered 380s or 410s at some consultations i had last year, got some more booked for january and assuming i'm offered the same I think i'll go for the 410s which i'm hoping will take me to d/dd from 34a/32b (need to get measured properly)

A 12 week wait to wear wires seems to be more and more popular with surgeons whether you've had partials or overs now Tracey, so you're not alone lovely. You'll find most women now have that 12 weeks wait.

I really wouldn't worry about swelling and wonky boobs this early in your recovery. Look to the 3 month marker before you start seeing most changes babe and take every day a day as it comes... Of course do mention any concerns at all that you have when you go for an consultations and ensure they get noted, but at this stage you're very early Tracey.

Looking great in your avi though babe!!!! dance
