What happened to "the girls" post surgery?
I'm 5 months out & gone from DD to a C cup. I was seriously probably down a cup after opti. Personally mine have deflated like 2 balloons

I haven't been perky for a long time, but mine need lots of support now. Truely, I need to get properly measured. But definitely need a bra with lots of support. Someone actually suggested a padded bra, not for increased cup size but to give a bit of shape back.
If you can hold off for a while, do so, but if not, get a couple cheap bras as you'll likely not fit in them very well for very long. You'll also notice you'll need to change sizes a few times, Value Village is a great resource for clothing.

I went from 46C to 34B. Big change! Honestly they look better than they did before. Your size will likely change, if you need a bra just for now check out Jie Fresh. They have pretty decent bras for $10-$20
All I can say is don't rush to buy a new bra. I didn't drop in cup size at all. I went from a 44Ddd to a 38 ddd. The minimizer bras have been my friedn keeping the girls looking better than before lol but dam I wished they went on a diet as well. Give yourself some time before looking for new bras

I just ordered a Fit Kit from Jockey for their new bra system. The bras are $60 a piece which is a lot less than the ones I would buy from Secrets From Your Sister but more than the (crap) they sell at AE. My bra band is already down to a 36, but I have no idea about cup. I am hoping this works! The benefit of the fit kit is that I will be able to monitor my sizes and decide when it's worthwhile to "downsize" lol.

I admit that it was something I saw on TV. Forget where, probably an ad. I had never heard of anything like it, and as I'm pretty gung ho about a bra fitting properly, I figured I would give it a go! I will definitely post about it :)

I have bought dozens of used bras but do not end up wearing them as they are not comfortable. Um let me think I could say the girls are becoming boys as they are much smaller and hang much lower. Or I liked the picture painted by describing them as tennis balls in tube socks. Like onward said a good bra and your set
