Asked By:Gentle102632 in Delafield, Wisconsin

I would like to have a “back up” for when I’m washing the other, and just some variety : How do I determine the size of surgical bra? I generally wear a 32C, I just measured my under bust/rib cage and it’s 29.5 I’m 5’9” and around 135 pounds, told I have lots of my own breast tissue. Getting 475cc Sientra. I will be sent home with one, how do I choose what size to buy? Do I want it tight or loose? Why? I have my BA in less than one month.
