Shopping for a New Bra When You Have ImplantsThese days, breast implants are becoming more common for a variety of reasons.  In any case, you’re changing a part of your body and as is such, you need to reassess what kind of bras you’re buying.  Now, your band size will not increase, but obviously, you may need a larger cup size.  Here are a few tips:

You may have to try on a bra and wear it for a while before you know if it is too large or small. Finding the perfect bra after your surgery isn’t impossible, it’s just a little more difficult.  But it is very important to find one that properly fits your frame and supports your breasts.

If your bra band is riding up in the back, the bra doesn’t fit.  The back of a well-fitted bra is at the same level as the front.  If you find yourself trying to lift your breasts by shortening your shoulder straps, the bra doesn’t fit. Your bra should support your breasts even if the straps are off your shoulders. If you have that horrible quadruple-boob look, where you look like your breasts have been split in two, you need a larger cup size. If your breasts fall out when you bend over, you may need cups that cover more of your breasts.

When buying a new bra, it should fit snugly on the last setting (the loosest hook set) this way when your bra stretches with wear you can fasten it tighter on the next two settings.  If you find that your bras bag at the nipple area, try purchasing a bra with some Lycra in it, which will conform to the breasts.
