WORTH IT
I had always had large and "odd" shaped breasts, the grew quickly. Even after children, breast feeding & weightloss they wouldnt get smaller.
I knew from a young age I wasnt pleased with not only the size but the shape and after years of headaches, shoulder and back pain and interference with exercises I knew its what would be best. Only wish id done it earlier.

yay today I get to go get sized :D
I have a very small opening under my right breast thats taking a little longer to heal but ive been covering it woth inadine and a dressing for the last week which seems to be doing the job!
Otherwise im very happy the shape has settled and I only have slight dicomfort from bumpy roads haha and the cold weather. The worst is the 'morning boob' but once im up it quickly goes away. Laying on my left size is still uncomfortable and Im choosing to wear a soft "ahh bra" to sleep for added feel of protection...
Nxt week im goinf back to gym! So excited about that :) will be a steady start but I dnt want to hurt myself. Nurse said no awimimg or hot yoga untill the small wound is completely healed but that shouldny be long now!!

I had a br done 10 years ago by Dr Lawrence. It made a big difference to my life. Yesterday she did a breast lift as Ive lost 32 kgs and they were saggy and I had a severely inverted nipple. Ive got the same dressings as you had.
Were you able to wear a bra before the dressing was changed? Im finding a bra pushes them together and is painful atm

I didnt put on my compression bra untill after the drains were removed. The first 1-2 weeks of wearing the post op bra were quite uncomfortable! But it definitely gets better :) ive only bought 2 bras since getting out of the post op bra. Both wireless. Had a check up beginning of the week (my last 1 untill my 3 month po) and the nurse said In 1 more month I could buy underwires if I wanted. The 2 bras I got were Berile sports bra and Playtex (from myer) the playtex 18hr ultimate lift or whatever its called hahah its amazing and so comfortable

Hi sorry for the late reply i only just seen your comment. I was hoping to be a 12 D-DD
I got sized at 2 differnt stores. 1 was 12DD and the other said 12 E
It was a pretty disheartening day tbh. I was so tired by then end of it. I bought a Berli wireless sports bra and then was recommended Playtex by another lady which I went and tried a few days later. I got a 12DD and was super happy with it the bra is amazing. Its the playtex 18hr ultimate lift and shape I think thats what its called
