Does Breast Augmentation - A New Wardrobe?

Breast augmentation makes profound changes to the size and shape of your breasts. Because of this, your clothes may fit differently and this may leave you with a wardrobe that lacks options. Once you have healed from your surgery, it is time to go shopping.

Shopping after breast augmentation surgery can be fun and exciting. You will want to allow plenty of time when you first venture out, as you will need to try items on to ensure the best fit. Once you are more familiar with how things fit with your new breasts, you may be able to forego the dressing room. However, that is rarely the case at the beginning. You really should try each and every item on before purchasing to eliminate the need to return your purchase because of ill-fitting garments.

On your first shopping trip, start by selecting styles you wore prior to your breast augmentation surgery. This will help you gauge your new profile and will help you decide if you still like this look. Once you have ascertained how items fit, then you can venture to new styles that you think may flatter your new shape. You may find it helpful to ignore the size tag and shop according to how garments fit. Size tags are meant for "standardized" bodies, and after surgery you are no longer a "standardized" woman!

You should not neglect to look for new lingerie and bras. It is unlikely that your old ones will fit at all, so you will need to measure and select items that work well with your new bra size. Keep in mind that finding a new bra can be a bit time consuming, but you will certainly realize that adequate support is necessary.

It may be tempting to only look for new tops and lingerie, but you should also consider how dresses will fit. Chances are you will need to update this part of your wardrobe as well, since your old dresses are not likely to fit well in the top. Like shirts and lingerie, dresses fit differently based on the cut, style and fabric. You will want to be sure that you check your profile from all sides to make sure you are pleased with the fit and style.

Shopping for new clothes after breast augmentation can be a little tough on the budget. If you find a few key pieces that can tide you over for a while, you should be able to bargain shop and find items on sale and clearance. Rebuild your wardrobe slowly to minimize the impact on your checkbook, and buy basic pieces first that you can use as a foundation for the rest of your wardrobe.

All in all, shopping after this type of surgery can be fun and exciting. Just remember to take it one rack at a time! After all, shopping for this reason should be enjoyable!
