Asked By:leg12151987 in Houston, TX

I am 5 weeks post op of a reduction/lift, tummy tuck, lipo.I went to get fitted for bras because next week I will be released from wearing surgical bra. They measured me at a 32DD. Pre-surgery I was a 34DDD & I wanted to be a C/D. I am feeling pretty disappointed right now but I'm trying to stay optimistic that they could still shrink and at least get me to a D. I was at the doctor on Monday & was told there only about 10-12% swelling left. Is there any chance they could continue to shrink?
