9 weeks today!

It only seems like just last week that I had my op!Had my first ever fitting for a bra today and now measuring 30fstill going to keep wearing my comfy sports bras for the time being though ( abit over protective of my new additions!..lol) but looking forward to buying lots of nice bras in time for Xmas. x

just noticed I'm activeWhen did that happen? x

Wow, 30F!!! you must be over the moon! I have to wait until 3 month post op until I can wear a bra, boo! Can't wait to be in your position. PS your avi looks amazing :) x

Glad to read you're happy mirren and I know what you mean about seeking the comfort of your sports bra still - I still wear mine even now lol. Xx

Wow! 30F very good times! What size were you before? x

Had never been measured/fitted for a bra as didn't have anything to put in one pre op!.. lol .I always just used to buy a 32 or 34 B and stuff it with chicken fillets! without a bra on I was empty/flat with a tiny bit breast tissue behind nipple area, so now I have boobs feel like all my Xmas's have come at once...lol x

P.s 30f sounds huge but I'd say I look a full C cup which is what I told my surgeon I was hoping achieve so very happy with my results so far . x

It's not babe. Mirren has her own perception of what a C cup should look like and that's what she sees when looking in the mirror.

She's happy with her 'LOOK' though and that ps what matters most when having a BA x

Wow Mirren...how time flys!
Glad your happy with your result!

Youre right Cookie , pre op I looked at surgery before and after sites and people similar size to me, the boobs I liked/was hoping to achieve had their post op size being full C cup which isnt huge as I never wanted to be too big just in proportion.I look the same size as the pics I looked at but can't quite figure out how I measure an F cup I'd have thought they would look massive but they don't? its got me puzzled, doesn't take much to do that though!.. lol X

Wow lovely size Hun and they look amazing in your avi xx

Im new to all this bra size stuff too but I think you maybe measure an F because you've got such a small back. The smaller the back the bigger the cup measurement will come out. The cups in a 30f will be a lot smaller than the cups in a 34 or 36f.. I think that's how it works?? Cookie? Lol

Either way it sounds impressive and looks impressive so good times all round!!! Xxxx

That's exactly right queeny :thumbs: it's really not possible to measure an F and not look it..

If you'd have thought about an F cup pre-op that would have seemed HUGE to most of us, but then, that perception comes from seeing F cups on rails in shops such as Asda, Tesco, Primark... The cheaper shops shall we say that don't cater for the small back large bust and as most of us had little to fill a cup pre-BA it seemed pretty pointless paying a lot for bras...

How many of us can actually say we picked up a bra in a small back and large cup size before having surgery... I doubt there's many.

So our 'perceptions' are that of a large back, large cup.

Now, here's where it gets complicated. If you go a shop and pick up two bras, one in a 30 back F cup and one in a 34 back F cup. The cup size is soooo different, with the 34 being much bigger than the 30!

So you can see with these misconceptions pre-op just why it causes so much confusion post-op with women claiming they don't 'look' they size they perceived they would be. Xx

Sorry if I've added to anyones confussion over bra sizes! new to all this bra buying and before my BA I only bought bras to put chicken fillets in! Never knew there was so much to know about boobs before now !... lol x

Don't apologise lovely, it's something the majority of us think as well so it was good to highlight it. Xx
