Breast size

Breast Reduction

Member Response:

The answer is that you don't need to shop for bras. Wait until after your surgeon tells you that you can stop wearing the surgical bra mild and then go get fitted. Surgeons cannot guarantee you a cup size since they are focused on making a maximal improvement without interrupting important blood supply . Also you might want to ask your surgeon about a new scar improvement technology called Brijjits which is like a steristip but with a plastic spring in the middle to keep the tension off the wound, Regular steristips get wound drainage in them and can get junky and be a set up for infection. Brijjits hold the would edges together and also allow for drainage. We keep them in place for 3 to 4 weeks and they have dramatically improved out post operative scar results .
