New bra and unexpected benefit

The surgeon was happy for the 2nd time in a row, when I saw him earlier this week. Bad Boob is now 3 weeks post op, and Good Boob is 7 weeks post op, so the difference is still quite marked, but he feels that BB will settle down a bit more over the next month or so. 
In answer to my question, he didn't think that they would ever be symmetrical, but he did expect them to be about the same size eventually.

So off I went to the specialist bra shop, as I mentioned last time. I was disappointed at the result: 20D

I thought from the look of my breasts that I might have gone down to a C cup, but apparently not. However the D cup was a bit wrinkly, so I think with a different style I might be a C, and if I lose a few more kilos I might make an 18. Something to aim for!

The new bra was also depressingly like the ones I used to wear, with 4 hooks at the back and the look of a supportive rather than an attractive undergarment. Quite a downer, actually, as I had imagined myself free of those matronly constructions.

In better news, some young acquaintances of mine told me today that I looked slimmer and taller (taller???), so I guess the breast reduction also adds to one's stature. LOL
