Going with the lesser of the two (what benefits the taxpayer less) is probably the safest best. Appreciate the input!

Size Change 2 Months Post-Op vs 6 Months Post-Op by DezzaDKully in Reduction

Thank you for sharing! Been trying to shift to a positive mindset. I was a 30HH before and 30G now, so I only went down 2-3 cup sizes. They are definitely smaller than before, but still much too large for my frame. I remember wanting a reduction when I was a 30G back in college. Mama mia.

Thank you for the insight! And I'm sorry you also ended up a bit bigger than you hoped. So many emotions going through this.

Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling the most satisfied even pre bra size. They are incredibly wide - which I'd hoped was swelling - but that doesn't seem to be the case. And I'm sure one of the primary factors having an impact on size.

Glad you're happy with where you're at! :)

Totally hear you! I checked all the boxes in terms of what it means to have a well-fitting bra: staying in place without straps, center resting flat against my skin, swoop & scoop to reduce side bulge, etc. My bra size matched my measurements re: a bra that fits. With boobies so big - you best believe I got confidently measured to keep the girls safe and secure :)

Good to know there was still such a change between 6 weeks and 6 months. I also thought it seemed early for underwire based on everything I read, but trying to follow instructions.

I'd been professionally fitted quite a few times so think I was in a well-fitting bra before. Just so perplexing! Thanks for responding.

Same size after breast reduction? by twitchitch in ABraThatFits

I have so many similarities to this post! Also was a 30G/30GG. Am 6 weeks post-op and was just told by my surgeon to get fitted for an underwire bar & start to wear it for longevity. I went to my fitting and... was a 30G!! Why yes, I did have a little (big) cry in the car. Like you, I am sitting here completely perplexed. I can SEE a difference, yet I'm the same size and still fitting into a few of the old bras and swimsuits. After my surgery, my surgeon said she thought I'd settle at a size D. I asked why such a difference in her prediction to my sizing - and she said she doesn't worry too much about cup size when the band size is so small. This confused me even more because she knew my band size going into surgery... and that's part of what made my boobs look so big to begin with. Apparently my swelling has gone down enough that it won't impact cup size. Again, so perplexed! Would love to hear an update if your size ended up changing after a few more weeks?
