Breast Augmentation Calls for Some Wardrobe Changes

It may seem like a good idea to get breast augmentation if you do not currently like the size of your breasts. However, getting a larger chest requires you to make a few changes after the surgery. Consider some of the details you will need to deal with later.

One of the biggest changes to make will be getting new bras. Most women go up at least one cup size, so if you plan to continue this trend, you cannot comfortably wear the same bra that you wear now. As you may know, good bras are often expensive and hard to find, so be sure to save a little time and money to start shopping for a few of them after breast augmentation. This can take some time when you are not used to having a large chest that suddenly needs more support than you are used to, so be prepared to shop for a while before you are perfectly happy with at least one new bra. Then decide who to give your old ones to so you can make room for the new ones.

Of course, it goes without saying that your shirts will need to be a bit larger, too. In fact, the entire fit will change. Maybe you used to be able to fit well in shirts with small top areas, and you did not even need to wear a bra. While obviously you were not happy with the size of your chest at the time, this is one perk you will probably not be able to enjoy anymore. This means you not only have to go up at least one size in shirts, but the style that you can wear may also change. Be prepared to get an entirely new wardrobe. The exception is if you plan to lose weight after breast augmentation, or you mostly wore stretchy shirts in the past anyway, as you may be able to fit into them still in this case.

A detail you may not have considered before is that having larger breasts can make it difficult to exercise comfortably. Small-chested women are often just fine working out with little support, and have no back problems that stem from their breasts. However, once you increase the size and weight of this area, you may notice that your center of gravity is slightly different from before. You might have to get more supportive workout gear, and you may have to get used to your regular workout moves all over again because they will feel a bit different from usual. Just be prepared for this change.

Most women are happy with the results of breast augmentation, but they might not be ready for some changes that they did not think about. Make sure you have the time to shop for these items once you are recovered enough to venture out of the house. You can also consider buying some of these items prior to surgery so that you have them, but you should not stock up until you are sure they will fit right.
