Q: How do I know what size to go?
A: We suggest that you visit a personalized lingerie department and obtain the assistance of the shop keeper, to provide you different size bras and pad them, placing a nice tight T shirt over the top of the bra, receiving a front and side profile in the mirror, until you have confirmed the size you would like to achieve. Purchase a cheap bra of the new desired size and take this with you at the time of consultation, to avoid any disappointment of size after surgery.
