Looking Like Myself Again

You might have thought long and hard about getting breast augmentation surgery, and you might have already met with a surgeon and scheduled a date for your procedure. Along with properly planning for the procedure itself, you might want to start thinking ahead about the aftermath of your procedure. In addition to ensuring that you are prepared for the recovery period, you might want to start thinking about the adjustment period that you will go through after breast augmentation surgery. These are a few tips that can help you with getting adjusted to your new body.

1. Invest in New Bras

In the first few weeks after your surgery, your surgeon will probably tell you to wear a special bra. After you have healed and are given the green light from your doctor to begin wearing normal bras again, it's time to go shopping and look into your options. You may want to be professionally fitted to find out what your new bra size is, and you may want to try on a few different styles. Consider buying a few cute bras as a treat for yourself after recovering from your surgery.

2. Try Out Different Outfits

In the past, you might not have liked wearing certain types of clothing. You might not have liked the way that certain tops looked on you due to your natural breast shape or size, for example. One thing that you are sure to notice after breast augmentation surgery is that clothing will fit and look differently on you. Therefore, it might be a good time to go shopping and try on a few different styles that you wouldn't normally wear. You might just find that you are interested in completely changing up your style — or at least that you are interested in wearing pieces that you wouldn't have worn in the past — once you have recovered from your breast augmentation procedure.

3. Be Realistic

It is true that having breast augmentation surgery done can be a great way to change your look and gain a lot of self-confidence. It is important to be realistic about the results and how they will change your life, however. Although you might find that you get a great boost of confidence and that your clothing fits better after surgery, for example, you should know that this type of procedure is not a one-size-fits-all cure for all of your insecurities. Of course, you can talk to your cosmetic surgeon about other procedures that you might be interested in so that you can boost your confidence and get the look that you want.
