Hi, I’m getting 625 CC under muscle, currently measure a 28 D cup. I am wondering when I should buy bras after surgery, because I heard that they are either bigger from swelling or smaller due to chest muscle pressing down on them. So which is true, will my bra size get bigger or smaller in the months after surgery?
Answer: Bigger I advise my patients to wait at least 8 weeks before making major bra purchases. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author. RealSelf Distinguished Hall of Fame Inductee. Philadelphia, Pa., USA

Answer: Surgery You may have some swelling with surgery so you might decrease a small amount. Hold off on buying many bras right after surgery to let your implants settle down so you can get the correct size. I would advise not going with such a large and heavy implant that will stretch and thin your own tissue, be heavy on your neck and shoulders, and sag over time.

Answer: Breast size Early in recovery from breast augmentation your breast shape may be different as the muscle will hold the implant higher. You will also have swelling. As the muscle relaxes the implants settle into place you'll have a more natural look to the breasts. The swelling will also resolve. These two changes will impact how the breasts fit in a bra. During the early part of recovery patients often will wear a surgical bra or sports bra to support the healing breasts. You can go for a professional bra fitting after that.
