Breast Augmentation and Bra Shopping

After a breast augmentation bra shopping can be a little tricky. You probably have tons of bras in the size you wore previously, but those no longer fit. It is time to make a trip to the store and choose all new items to support your new look. Here are just a few ideas to help you along in the process.

Timing is Everything

Don't think that bra shopping is a good idea just a few days after a breast augmentation. You are probably excited and ready to enjoy the new you, but swelling can work against you. The sizing will be inaccurate and you will end up with quite a few purchases that will only last you a short time.

Talk with your physician about the swelling and when you can expect it to go down completely. Figure out a date to keep in mind and be patient while waiting. When you shop, you want to get exactly what you want when it comes to style and sizing.

Go to a Professional

Many stores offer to provide customers with a bra fitting. However you want to make sure that you are seeing someone that knows what she is doing. Because you had a breast augmentation you are completely starting over when it comes to sizing. You don't want to get off on the wrong foot and choose items that are too small or too large. This will take away the enjoyment of your new look and can make you uncomfortable.

A real bra fitting involves taking your measurements and choosing the right items for a perfect fit. After the fitting, try several different bras on to get an idea of which style you feel most confident in. Whether you want full coverage, lace, satin, or whatever, you can find exactly what you have been looking for.

Try Them On

Once you have the right size bra you will feel better and look better after your breast augmentation. However, don't get too comfortable with that size. You still need to try on bras every time you go shopping. Some brands run large while others run small. Sometimes you might need a different size depending on the cut of the cup. When you try on bras every time you shop there is no chance you'll go home with buyer's remorse.

You've just made a wonderful change to your body. Now you need to make wardrobe adjustments to make sure you get the most of your new look. Take your time as your body heals. Find a professional to assist you in your search for the right bra. Try on bras every time you make a purchase as some sizes do vary from brand to brand and cut to cut.
