Breast Augmentation Means Time for New Bras

Having a breast augmentation is a big decision in a woman’s life. It promises her a larger, fuller and firmer chest. It can be done because there is a desire for a larger bust than nature endowed or because as the body ages it loses the battle with gravity and there is some sagging or loss of firmness. Other times women are done having children and would like to reverse the damage done to their bodies by breastfeeding and years of putting their needs first. Whatever the cause more and more people are going under the knife and having breast augmentation but there is a facet to this that people are not always considering. The care of the chest before and after the procedure is reliant on a bra system that supports and holds everything correctly.

It is critical after breast augmentation to find a bra that fits, and fits well. Whey a brassiere does not fit correctly there will be sagging and there will be pain in the back and shoulder. A lack of support can make your new endowments downright painful, especially on ladies with a smaller frame and larger implants. There are some tips for finding the perfect support, though.

The front and back of the material should be at the same level. If the strap rides up the back it is not properly holding things up and does not fit. Also, if you must shorten the shoulder straps to try and get everything lifted up then you need a new bra. After breast augmentation the cups may not fully cover everything and it may be necessary to look for something with fuller coverage. If, when you bend over there is a danger of spilling out then look for a new style or new size.

The best way to ensure that you are in the right underwear for your new body is to get a fitting. Bra size is a combination of two measurements. First the band size is based on the measurement around the ribcage directly below the bust. The cup size is then the measurement across the nipples. The difference determines the cup. A professional is best sizing you so that it is as accurate as possible. When you go to Victoria’s Secret or any other intimacy store they will be more than happy to assist. They will also be able to determine the best styles based on your body type. It can be difficult to know what sort of coverage and material is best right off the bat after breast augmentation but by shopping with a saleswoman you can come away knowing that you got just the right thing.
