So I'm now 6 weeks post explant. About 2-3 weeks ago my right incision became really sore and weepy, the nurse diagnosed it as a stitch abscess and covered it with an iodine patch and gave me two spare ones to replace it with every 3 days.
After I took off the second patch a week later the incision was looking and feeling much better. I've just had my 6 week follow up and the nurse was happy with my incisions now and said I could return to exercise, baths/swimming, and underwired bras - as long as I felt comfortable.
I don't have any pain but I think I'm going to wait a little longer before moving to underwired bras.

Bra fitting 25 days post explant
So today I popped in to Victoria's Secret to hopefully purchase a comfortable non wired bra. I'm still wearing my Macom minimizer most of the time and occasionally just ordinary sports bras, but I have a party to go to this Friday and all my bras looked just terrible under the dress I'd bought.
An extremely helpful lady spent a long time trying to find the right size for me, eventually deciding I was a 32D or in certain styles a DD. When I was first measured after I got implants 7 years ago I was measured as a 32DD! I guess I have grown a LOT of natural breast tissue in the 7 years I had implants. Crazy, I never expected this much growth. I was a B cup before I had implants, but I was still quite young (19).
The bra seems absolutely lovely, it's a very soft silky material and is non wired, so it's very comfortable to wear.

My breast did change a ton from one month to my now 7 month explant. Don't make the silly mistake I did and buy too many bras too soon. Most of them still fit, but some don't . I mean I went out and bought so so many bras. Was fitted each place differently. You look fuller than me and I'm a small C now. Gorgeous results sister! So natural and full! Happy healing !

Did you end up being the same size you were pre implant or did your size go up/down compared to before implants at 7 months post explant? I just bought 4 bras in my old size hehehe lol

Weird how this happens to us women but I went up, I was a full B before implants, now 7 months explant C. I say small C because I think I still could fit into a B cup depending on the maker of the bra, you know how that goes. But, I wear all C bras most from Soma and VS. I wonder why this happens to us, not that I'm complaining!

Nice!! Well thanks for the heads up because I was about to go crazy and start a bra collection (like, right now at 2 weeks post op haha) because I've always wanted to do that. But I'll take it slow... I hope I go up too!!

VS has me in a c cup and every other store I'm an A I think their sizing is a bit different.

Oh the sizing at VS IS way off! They sized me a D! I then went to try on my own bras and that's when I knew what size I fit into and I verified it by other stores as well. Never get sized at VS!

I do think Soma bras are great! I am a C in them and Bali. Got any other suggestions for good bras that hold up wash after wash !?

Thank you! Yeah I think I'm just going to buy this one for a while, just so I have one 'normal' bra for certain clothes. I remember when I first got implants I bought a tonne of bras that didn't fit me a year later, so I don't want to make that mistake again too! :)

Yeah I think you're right. I won't take the size they gave me as bible, but this bra I bought there definitely fits me really well right now. I tried a few other 34D bras there and they were not the same.
Marks & Spencer is usually my first choice but unfortunately I don't seem to be getting on with them post explant. I tried a few but nothing was right. But yeah, no more bra shopping for a while now!

To encourage you sweet women... I know it's not fun waiting to buy your bras, but it's so worth the wait. They have so many cute bras in smaller sizes . Nice not to pick up this bra that is huge anymore. I was an overflowing D with implants and was truly a DD. I didn't want to wear DD bras. They were even uglier. Ah, the relief of getting rid of the those shoulder boulders ! Happy bra shopping soon enough ladies!

Hi Hannah, I don't think they look bigger now! They look lovely and sit more naturally

Rest of message........ I would be over the moon if I ended up with results like yours and found I was bigger than my original 36AA 'itty, bitty, saggy [RS bleep]'

Thank you! Yeah I think I'm just being picky - I really have nothing else to complain about! I definitely think myself as lucky overall. I guess you just have to expect the unexpected with explanting!

You're natural boobs are much more beautiful than the fake ones you had. The fake ones looked weigh too big for your petite frame, unnatural and heavy. You should be so happy with your results!
