WORTH IT$3,000
Just wanted to let everyone know that against other surgeons suggestions (they of course, suggest a full TT), I went forward with a mini-TT because I trusted in my own surgeon's opinion.... It looks fabulous. Muscle repair was done and a bit of skin was eliminated.... And I still have my "natural" looking belly button. And best of all, my recovery was SIMPLE. 4 days out and I'm almost back to normal again... whooo hooo!!

Okay girl you have a small gap between breast that I think will be much closer in 2 month's and no way are those just a 34 C!!!!!! They are definitely a D cup those are huge 450 ccs if only my first ba 457 ccs had looked even close to yours I would have been so happy :)
Okay problem is your probably wearing wrong band size pre ba and post op ba what is your ribcage measurements? Like mine for instance is 27.5 so I'm supposed to wear a 28-30 band's I am totally guessing but your probably no more than a 32 band which would put you in the D cup bra's just get measured at Nordstrom as they are best at sizing or a bra boutique not Victoria's secret they don't know how too properly measure. All I can say is you look amazing and huge Boob's little gap. But I understand if you want bigger but give it time I really think you will be happy in 3 month's. I know a girl on another forum go from 1400 too 1800 at first all her bra's still fit but didn't 4 month's later she was busting out of them. But I'm guessing your not wearing correct size in band you look small from what I can see but like I said I'm no expert email Dr.Revis your questions and pictures l think you look amazeballs!!!!!!!!!! ☺
December 29, 2014
Hahah!! You are too sweet!! My rib cage is 28. So what does that mean?! =]
December 29, 2014
That's close to mine so 30 band and that would put you wayyyy past the D cups with that small of a band because you could wear a 28 band too. Go to a website that you type in your numbers one being your ribcage measurements and other measure your bust then type in that number it will give you roughly what you should be wearing site is called "Sophisticated pair.com
Do you know your bust measurements now?
December 29, 2014
Not being too sweet I meant every word those are huge gorgeous Boob's!!!!!
On the band try on 28-30 see what's more comfortable with the gore laying flat and go by what a professional Tell's you what too wear not me no expert ;)
December 29, 2014
I don't know it. But I guess I can measure myself. Across the nipples and all the way around?
December 29, 2014
Yes and I've heard best too do it bending over you would need someone to help you do this and do it loosely not tight like when measuring ribcage measurements and measure at fullest area if breast completely around is correct ☺
December 29, 2014
Ok. So in short, because my rib cage is so small, my cup size automatically goes to a D? Is that correct?
December 29, 2014
No you are probably much bigger than a D if you wear a
28-30 band it will depend on your bust measurements but you could easily be a 30G I really don't know until I know your bust measurements but definitely beyond D cup size ☺
December 29, 2014
That's crazy!! No wonder I'm never "big enough" in my eyes. Lol. I've never tried anything larger than a 34 bra. :/ so now.... Am I still crazy if I want to "appear" bigger??? Haha! What size bra do you wear??
December 29, 2014
No your not crazy for wanting too be bigger I want too upgrade to at least 1650 ccs Lol
I haven't been measured and I think I told you due too scoliosis small band's are excruciating painful too wear. I mostly just wear my 40 band size sport's bra Lol
I do have a 34 G UK size US size I bra but I'm spilling over the top of it so obviously bigger than that size. I need to be properly measured just too know what these 1050 ccs gave me but I hope too upgrade so think will put off Lol
Try just measuring your busts standing up and go too that site I told you about and find out just how big your Boob's are ☺
December 29, 2014
UK 28G or US 28I is what I got from that site. what does that mean?? I can't possibly be an "I".... LOL they don't even have that in the stores!!!
December 29, 2014
Yes it definitely can be true ☺
Nordstrom and lot of online stores carry those sizes like Heroom.com
Or Figleaves.com and many more even EBay but probably best to first try on in a store like Nordstrom so you know what style,brand and what band size feels best just remember most brands you will be buying are UK so look at their conversion chart too make sure getting correct size.But best too go and get fitted first you ddon't have to buy their bra's as are expensive but find out what professional measures you and what feels best.
December 29, 2014
got it.. thank you again. why is it that i'll be buying UK mostly? i did ready that my "i" size also converts to a 32DD. =)
December 29, 2014
Because most US companies don't make small band's and large cup sizes. 32DD was that based on a 28 or 30 band size? Because that doesn't sound correct unless I'm missing something I do get these bra sizing so confusing Lol do you mind me asking your bust size?
December 29, 2014
Okay I typed in 30 band and got UK 32E or US 32DDD
And if 28 band 28G UK and US I so see now how you got 32DD only it's 32DDD ☺ US or UK 32E ☺
December 29, 2014
since Sophisticated pair calculated 32DDD US if you wear a 30 band and 37 bust now if you wear a 32D it might fit but not properly were are you getting 32D?
I'm just going by there numbers. You could also go to another site it calculates bra sizes and sells bra's Too Heroom.com but I'm guessing your PS hasn't cleared you to wear underwire bra's yet right? I couldn't until 4 week's but I don't like them anyways Lol
December 29, 2014
You could go to Victoria's secret not to get sized but try on there 32DDD bra's see how they fit guessing band will be to large and gore will not lie flat and remember all the support in a bra comes from band not strap's and it needs to be on loosest hook.
32DDD is only correct if you should be wearing a 30 band size as a 32DDD is sister size too 30E UK size ☺
It's all very confusing that's why my PS told me it would be trial and error especially with 1050 ccs on my frame Lol I can't even imagine if I upgrade what size and were I'll find bras actually lot girls get there's custom made from some Polish company that is not even in English talk about confusing Lol
December 29, 2014
no underwire yet :( does that make a difference in size? no, right? i think i got 32D ro some vague website... haha
December 29, 2014
Confusing I typed in 28 band and 37 bust on Heroom.com got 32DD!!!!!? Confusion Lol
No underwires don't change your size ;)
I guess your just going to have to try on several different sizes and see what work's because online calculations are confusing but give you an idea of what you are definitely not a C cup or a 34 band's ☺ Nordstrom try them sometime get properly fitted and go from there but it's best to wait 2-3 month's before buying bra's because when you drop and fluff you get bigger I did even at over a year post op but I have super tight skin so mine took extra long to break through skin Lol
December 29, 2014
ALL the endless possibilities!! haha!! so nordstrom have measurements over D+??
December 30, 2014
Oh okay ;)
Yes they measure you what you actually are not what just they sale like Victoria's secret doe's. Know they might not have your sizes in stock every store varies on what they keep in stock I had a friend who drove extra hour to a Nordstrom that carried her size and actually they measured her again and said she had slight curve in back mild scoliosis so she needed a 34 band's instead of 28 which is what she's supposed to wear because her ribcage measures a 27 and her bust little over 42 so she found a comfortable 34 band can't remember cup size it was big :)
January 6, 2015
Got measured, girlie! 32H fit like a glove! haha... thanks for suggesting that. I have another dr appt with my PS on Friday... I still need to be Bigger! Boobie Greed!! what the heck? Did you say that you are 34 G? If so, How's that....?? I have baby boobs compared to your! LOL
January 6, 2015
That's awesome I told you were bigger than a D cup ☺ Is the 32H a UK or US size? Either way big ☺
I have a 34G UK size US size I
I didn't say it fit's I got it at two months post op and have since increased a lot but never been professional measured but I haven't dropped a lot so most of my Boob's are up high still lots of upper pole roundness. I haven't even put that bra on in many months at 5 month's post op I was spilling over the top's and they are bigger now guessing I would have quad boob now in it Lol guess I need to try on for laughs hehe
When I lie down I took some nude pictures of my Boob's on my back Lol they looked like projecting water balloon's showed my mom she was like who's [RS bleep] Star's Boob's are those they look ridiculous Lol I was like mom they are mine LMAO
Darn Bobbie I got it too want those 1700 ccs badly Lol
Doe's your PS even do internal bras or strattice? as I think you need for bigger since he said your skin was thin
January 6, 2015
Also there's nothing baby about the size of your Boob's
I've seen 800 ccs that don't look as big as yours and actually if you told me you had 800 ccs I would totally believe you ;)
January 6, 2015
Haha! That's funny about your mom. Sounds a lots like mine! Love her:) I'm guessing 32 H is uk? I was measures at nordstroms. So what's that mean?
January 6, 2015
No way!! Haha. It's just the picture!! I want my boobs to look big, braless and in a t-shirt!!
January 6, 2015
Did you buy the bra? It will say if it is UK or US size
I'm guessing it was UK but not sure how they size at Nordstroms sorry but I bet she put you in a UK 32H as there really are few US companies that make small band's and large cups. Whatever your Boob's are definitely bigger than D cup as I told you glad you found out size as I'm sure it boosted your self esteem realizing how big you are ☺
January 6, 2015
Even my Boob's get lost in big t-shirts but I get what you are saying because unless something is really tight I feel mine don't look big my mom begs to differ but I know with 1700 ccs they definitely wouldn't get lost Lol
But your Boob's are big not pictures but understand wanting bigger ;)
