Still issues with the bralettes. ...

They are very comfortable to wear but I'm still having issues with them riding up and some of what is left of my tissue hanging out from the bottom. Good thing I'm still wearing looser fitting clothes so no one is noticing this but I keep having to pull them down all day. I'm going shopping soon to see if I can fit in a regular bra that has some lift or more support as this is nuts.

I had great luck with Fila sports bras from Academy. And I tried and bought several trying to find something comfortable. I've also seen lots of pics of women fluffing or I think healing and looking much better up to a year later! You're doing great, love the positive attitude!

A funny note...

So I am still flatter than ever and still wearing the sports bras with padding. When I was more swollen, the bra seemed to stay down better. Now lately, the bras are sliding up during the day and the padding part eventually is left sitting there with just "air" in it.
Good thing the padding has some shape to it so my clothes don't look too weird. But it's hilarious that I have to keep pulling the bras down all day so that there is something in them. It's because I have a "long torso" as my first plastic surgeon stated when she told me it was a good thing I decided to get implants...I may resort to sewing some type of insert into the straps so they are longer and stay down.
I may also venture to the store to try to get some regular bras with padding soon and see if those will stay down better. The two sides are still not the same so I don't want to buy "too early" and then have to get another size down again later.
I am also having trouble not laughing when I see other women with huge breasts that I think have had implant surgery because I feel like they will have trouble later and just don't even know what's in store for them later due to their decision. It's not really funny but it makes me recall the process I've been through and am glad I'm on the other side now and don't have to worry about that any more.

You may check some other sports bras that are fitted better around the chest. I have so much trouble with the ones that are sized S-M-L. I would get something that fits exactly your chest and clips in the back or something, without under-wire (if you still can't wear under-wire). So frustrating.

Hi, thanks>I have to go see what else I can find and the bralette's are still crawling up all day and I have to tug them down. My breast tissue is usually half out from the bottom, but with the tops/sweaters I wear no one is the wiser but I can feel it. Maybe this weekend I'll go shopping to get something else. One is still bigger than the other in sizing so that's still a pain too.

I'm only 3 days post op and although a little sore I've already embraced my wrinkly less than A tiddies I was worried about the concave in my chest. But feel relieved as others have shared this is normal as the implants have been there over 15 years I'm a little anxious about going back to work as i think people may notice but plan to wear my usual scarfs ! However I'm so happy they are gone. I too feel sorry for the young busty women who are yet to come to their senses and have theses lumps taken out! My daughters equally flat chested friend who is a size zero and just put DD in!!! She will be sorry xx
