Why do my old bras still seem to fit two weeks after my breast reduction? Going from 34F/G to 34C. (photos)

Asked By:mesw2015 in Walnut Creek, CA

Some of my 'old' bras still fit two weeks post op. Is this typical? I have a fair amount of swelling, particularly under each breast where my breast and torso meet. My PS tells me the swelling is within normal range, will abate with time and as the breasts settle from their currently high position. All that said, I'm surprised that the girls aren't substantively smaller at this juncture. Is it too early to be concerned?
