I'm also a 32 D.
I tried on a 34C Bralette and was thrilled that it fit perfectly, but I wanted to buy an underwire bra. I noticed that any bra with even a small amount of padding made my boobs looked odd. I found a 32 D underwire without padding and it fit perfectly. I'm really loving my boobs today. I actually kinda like the upper pole fullness which I was not expecting. Kinda anxious about the D&F... what if they look deflated by then?

Nervous about my drop and fluff too! I love my size but I don't want to get any smaller! But, I do feel like the overall look only gets better with everyone, even if they aren't as big, they always look better with time. Can't wait to see our results after a few months!
Aw, that's nice. I hope so.
I've heard other girls say they could never quite pull of the padded bras after BA because of the shape they make. But still look great in non-padded underwire bras. I'm hoping I won't feel the need for padded bras after implants. How is your dropping and fluffing going, are you still pleased with the look?
Oh really? I was wondering if I would eventually want to wear a padded bra after they D&F in case they loose their fullness quite a bit. I'm most pleased with the look in a bra or bikini. In clothes they look a bit small (not even my mother or mother in law has noticed my BA), although they look a bit fuller than they did when I used to wear a very padded bra. Naked they sit a bit unnaturally high but that should change with D&F, my husband loves them though, I didn't know he was a boob guy until I got a pair ;)
That sounds perfect, then you only have show them off when you feel like it and to the people you want to know. I don't think you need to worry about them becoming inflated, but if they were then I guess they'd be soft enough for a padded bra then ;) My bf suddenly became a boob guy too when I started talking BA, he loves all the wish boob pictures - hope I'll live up to the expectations...
I can relate to that feeling. My husband started having opinions about pictures I would show him pre BA. But he wouldn't pick out any new pictures of his own he liked. I just went with what I thought would look nice and natural. He likes them but I think he'd like them even if they looked different. Idk. I see your surgery is coming up, good luck!! Hugs
Laughing reading these posts. My bf always declared he was a bum/leg guy. He could've fooled me. He said to me earlier today 'what'll I do when you stop looking at all these girls boobs?' (Because I spend so much time on RS with him looking over my shoulder!)
Wantingtolookproportional my bf is the same, and I actually think it's nice they are a bit sensitive about it, cause I think they know it could make us sad if they said something wrong. I reckon guys just like them bigger, not necessarily a specific volume. I like that he is excited with any choice I make and lets me make it myself :) Flattoahandful I was almost fooled too, but I know he would have been happy even if I had never got the idea of a BA. We are always looking at boobs together too, it's addicting! My bf feels the same as yours hahaha - just asked him what hell do, and he says 'you'll have to get yours out then? ;)'
Haha that's so cute. ^
Hahahaha and I've 100% had my boobs out way more than ever in my life. It's refreshing to not feel horrified by them anymore. X
I can totally relate to that. I used to be so modest. Now I have no problem showing my sister or friend my naked boobs. I've either gotten desensitized by the posting here & doctors appointments, or they don't quite feel like mine yet so I view them as merchandise. Either way, it's a little liberating.
Yeah I think mine feel like a new handbag or something! I think I'm quite detached to the fact they're in me (if that makes sense)! I had my boobs out with the nurses no problem but the morning of my op remember feeling really embarrassed as my surgeon took photos and drew on me... the catering staff walked in to take my meal orders in the middle of the photos too and I was cringing!
It totally makes sense! That's how I feel. I think it'll be awhile before I feel like I was born with them. I'm less aware of them at times being nearly 3 weeks post op, but still tight and at times limiting. P.s. I agree, that would feel different having the catering staff mosey on in mid draw.
I'm the same. I'm 3 weeks on Monday but still feel tight and not as comfortable as I'd like to. My skin feels so sensitive and the rubbing of bras etc is driving me mental!!
My doctor hasn't cleared me for bras yet. I have this ugly surgical one for another 2 weeks. Mine aren't super sensitive but the sutures hurt. I have a feeling i might be doing more than im supposed to. What bra size are you wearing?
I'm wearing comfort sports / t-shirt type bras. My surgeon said to wear whatever is comfortable and doesn't dig in so I have a little crop top thing for night time and ugly bras for during the day. I'm wearing roughly a 32c at the moment but I know that could change. I've had my stitches out for almost a week so I'm now onto massaging scar. It's so funny how everybody's doctor has different advice. My surgeon said if a bra leaves marks on you then it's the wrong fit. They should feel comfy and supportive without leaving you covered in lines but (as long as no underwire) he left what to wear quite open.
How cute... I want to wear just a little crop top. I got my stitches removed a few days ago. I'm going to start my scar treatment tomorrow. What are you using? I like the idea of the strips to create a barrier between the scar and future bra. My surgeon recommends 100% silicone medical grade cream which they sell for $50 or $55 with SPF in it. What do you think?
I use Bio Oil which is really popular here. It's used for stretch marks and scars. I've been rubbing it into my boobs for the past week and started on my scars now too but it's too early to see if it makes much difference yet. People swear by it though.
That's good. I'm going to get something to start tomorrow.
Do you know if it could be a good/bad idea to start applying the bio oil before surgery? I bought mine and might just start now a couple days before
I don't see how it could hurt. You have to wash with iodine or hibiclens beforehand anyways right?
Before surgery? I'll leave that to my PS :) Have just been told not to consume any fat fish and omega 3 oils seven days up to surgery. Not sure what the bio oil is, but maybe I should ask my PS about using it..
I don't think it would matter. It's just like moisturising. Lots of my friends use it on dry bits. :-)
Bio oil is ahhhhhmazing! You can go check out my pics.. I'm post 10 weeks and have really seen a change. You can barely feel my scar anymore!
I would love to see more pics of your progress! I have my procedure on 7/18! And almost same stats and goal size!

I'm a full 34 C! I'm just what I wanted. I'm still wearing my surgical bra but I was curious on my visit to Nordstroms rack. I held up 34 C up to my boobs and it fit perfectly. I looked around until I found a cute bra in my size. When I got home I tried it on. Yup, that's my size! It couldn't fit better. If I had gone any bigger though I'd definitely be a small D. I'm still waiting to D&F. Right now, I'm happy with my size. :)

It'll be 1 week post op tomorrow. Overall I…

It'll be 1 week post op tomorrow. Overall I feel so much better than last week. I've been off any pain meds for several days now and my pain is very tolerable unless I lift my arms above my shoulders or flex my chest muscles. The bloating is still there but it is better, I just have a pooch now instead of looking 6 months pregnant. My bowel habits still aren't regular; yesterday I had the worst BM of my life! I've never expereinced anything like that, I was actually bleeding afterwards. So today in addition to extra fluids, colace, fiber in my drink, and coffee, I'm going to incorporate a laxative. The air bubbles under my skin are still there but I'm not worried, they should go away with time.
As far as my boobs, not much has changed but I thought I'd post an update anyway since it's almost a week. They're slightly softer to touch than day 1, but they haven't dropped at all and are still looking boxy. They still feel like something I am wearing, rather than part of me, but I'll patiently wait. No signs of infection and the light sternal bruising is improving.
I'm hosting Easter this weekend (my sister begged me to host it) for my family including my sister's boyfriend's family who we'll be meeting for the first time, as well as my cousin's in-laws; I'm expecting about 40 people to be here. Hugs are going to hurt, but I'm actually looking forward to everyone coming, it will be nice. We have a pool so everyone is excited to swim. I won't be going in obviously, and nobody better push me in! I don't think I have something to wear that will hide my compression bra, but I'll find something. :)

You'll look lovely and noone will be the wiser!
Thank you. ;)
I seriously thought everyone would notice mine ... people who knew I was doing it and saw me a week after totally forgot and didn't say anything!!!! It will be great :)
That's nice to hear. Thank you. :)
