Breast Implants before Wedding

Meghan, on August 1, 2016 at 9:02 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 3

Hi Ladies - so I'm wondering if there are any brides out there that had implants the year leading up to their wedding. I'm set to be married Sept 2017 and have a scheduled surgery in December 2016 for implants. I'm not going super large ( small B cup to a full C) however I'm going dress shopping in August 2016 and concerned how this will impact dress shopping. Any suggestions? I do plan on wearing a padded bra the day I go shopping to compensate but just hoping to learn any tips/tricks from some brides who have been in the same scenario. Thank you in advance!

    When you go dress shopping make sure you don't get your exact size. Get one size up and you should be fine. Then you can get the dress altered a few months before you get married so it will be a perfect fit.

    Also, one piece of advice from someone who worked in lingerie for a long time....go get a formal bra fitting from a place like Nordstrom before you get the implants so you know the true size you started from. The way plastic surgeons size is based on volume of the implant which is not the way bras are actually sized. Then once you are healed and ready to be in regular bras again, go and get a fitting again. Do not be surprised when you go up more than one cup size in the actual bra you wear. In the many women I fit who had augmentation, none only went up a true one cup size. It isn't a reflection of the surgeon but just a reflection of the fact that surgeons and actual bra makers size differently. Happy healing!
