I had a lift and what I thought was going to be a reduction 7 weeks ago. I was a 36DD with no volume. I wanted to be a small C. I am measuring at 34D. Is it adequate to think this will be my final size? When is final size typically determined? My dr said I can now wear underwire but my boobs are hard and underwire isn't comfortable.
