19 days post-op. 32A to 385cc full projection Natrelle silicone under muscle. What size will I be?

Question

I am trying my very best to visualize what size I might be. I know it is too soon and nothing is set is stones but I did have a pretty hard recovery. If I can figure out what size I might be then it will definitely help me feel better. Prior to my surgery I weighed 107lbs but i did weight myself post 10 days and i was 114lbs. I did go to Victoria secret on 03/22 and they measured me as 32DD Prior to my augmentation i was 32 A but i never went to get measured

Hello Reeree. It’s too early to get measured and it’s likely your DD cup is not accurate. I suggest you wait until 8 weeks for a more accurate measurement. The final results are always 1 year after surgery. I think you’ll be around a D cup +/- 1 cup. Best wishes. Dr. Aldo

You can't take your current breast size, add an implant and get a specific bra size. Just wait until everything has settled and you have healed and are back to working out and then get measured for a bra--that will be your bra size. However, keep in mind that if you were to get measured at three different stores you will likely find  you get three different bra sizes! 
The most important thing is not what the inside of your bra says, but how you like the size of your new breasts. I have had patients come back to me and say in a hushed, whispered tone "I am a D!" indicating that they didn't want to be this size. But when I ask them if they would like to change their implants to a smaller size they say: "No, I love them. I just didn't think I would be a D."
Don't worry about the bra size; just make sure you are happy with the size, and shape, and then wear a bra that fits you the best, and is the most comfortable--don't worry about what the actual number is.
One final point. Bra sizes have been getting bigger while pant and dress sizes have been getting smaller--manufacturers realized most women would like to have a smaller waist and a larger cup size. So this throws everything off anyway!

Hello. 
Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your surgery! 
Results tend to vary greatly as everyone has a different starting point.
It is important to have an in-person medical assessment regarding this issue as it is difficult to determine virtually.
Continue to update your doctor in the matter and follow their post-op protocol.
It is important to get cleared by your doctor before engaging in specific physical activity before the 3 month healing period has ended as the healing stage is crucial for healthy results.
It generally takes around 6 months to a year to see your final results. Your tissues will take time to relax and allow your implants to "Drop and Fluff" settling into place.
Our tips for recovery following breast augmentation are to wear a supportive sports bra for 3 months post-operative and refrain from lifting anything heavier than 10 lbs for 3 weeks as we don't want any strain at your incision sites. Make sure to keep the area of your stitches clean by cleansing with hydrogen peroxide daily. Showering is encouraged! But, no sitting in water for 2 weeks following surgery (no baths, hot tubs, pools etc.).
