For many women, breast implants are the realization of a long-time dream, but having a curvier body also means that the patient has to adapt to their new body image and shop accordingly.
Patients typically experience post-operative swelling for 4-6 weeks after surgery and the breasts must drop into their final position during the first few months after augmentation. During this time, patients should not purchase new clothes but have a few transitional bras and garments on hand.
Once the swelling from the procedure has gone down, patients can begin the process of updating the wardrobe to match their new figure.
Here are some tips to help with the process:
Bras
Shopping for a new supportive bra should only begin after you receive approval from your plastic surgeon. Even then, it is best to have a professional fitting to determine the proper size.
Some of the things to keep in mind include:
Remember: Most plastic surgeons recommend a healing period of between 3-6 weeks, which includes wearing support bandages and surgical bras. During this period, you can expect some swelling and determining your new size will be difficult until the swelling has diminished.
Bathing Suits
While shopping for a new bathing suit can be exciting following breast implant surgery, it can be more challenging than expected because women with larger breasts have to consider both coverage and support.
In general, a halter-top style can be very flattering as it provides both the support and coverage you need while flattering your new shape.
Tip: Manufacturers that provide separate sizes for tops and bottoms are a good source of bathing suits for women with augmented breasts.
Tops and Dresses
When you’re buying new tops and dresses, the neckline will be a major consideration. While V-necks are slimming and can highlight your new figure, it can also be too revealing. As an alternative, you may want to consider a cowl neck.
