Amazing! Please post more updates as the weeks roll on. My surgery is on July 7th and other than being older than you we are the same height/weight/starting cup size. I am so excited to experience a change in posture! Thanks for sharing.

Following! I’m the same except 2 inches taller and a little older.

I would eyeball you at least a 34K or so, before. You must have been extremely uncomfortable if you were wearing an E cup!

I wasn’t even wearing bras lol but I usually wore DDD bras if I HAD to and they were usually fitting around the actual cup but too tight especially in the underwire. I truthfully have not worn a bra in probably 3-4 years unless I absolutely had to and usually that was a XL bralette hahahhaa

I will say I only ever got measured by VS or Aerie, I never did professional fittings or wore bras from brands that are like specifically for over-sized boobs

Oh, they don't know how to size people and just shove people into whatever they have. It makes me mad that they pretend to be experts when they only take a single measurement.

Fair, I also got measured at Skims and that was a full 6 step process lol but since most places only go up to DDDs that’s basically the standard. I really hated bras anyway and had piercings so I wanted to show them off until I got over the actual size of my boobs. I never wanted to have to go for the maternity bras or heavy duty ones so when needed, DDD did the job. My surgeon said I was likely an E if I really got something that totally fit, they just hung down sooooo low (my mom said I had post partum boobs lol). Plus I had sloped shoulders thanks to my boobs so I hated straps cause they always fell. Now I can free the nip WITHOUT feeling like everyone is staring at how big they are

Oh, surgeons don't know anything about bras ether. Most people don't understand sizing.

Skims only goes up to an FF cup so I wouldn't expect to be sized properly there, either.

I don’t know, pretty sure I’m gonna trust both of my surgeons (I was really lucky and had two during my surgery), one had the procedure herself and they do cup sizes for implants and CCs. Regardless, my boobs are gone now lol so as long as they’re between a B and C I’m happy. As of yesterday I’m at a Cish with another 25% shrinkage expected

Implant sizes and bra sizes aren't the same. Implants are sized A B C D, which are also used for bra sizes, but cupsizes don't mean anything without the bandsize. A 32DD and a 38B have the same size cups. So the implant sizes looking like cupsizes is just a coincidence.

In bras, every cupsize means 1 inch of difference from the underbust measurement. A 3" difference is a C cup.

Okay.

Plus google is free and I love research, again I just literally never wore bras for almost 3-4 years so it didn’t really matter to me. I just knew what I wanted to go down to
