I've been wearing generic sports bras for almost a year guys. A YEAR! I got so tired of returning bras I just quit. But I really need the support, not to mention how much better they look with a real bra! I'll be posting a fit request on my @Parfait Charlotte that is too small, or too shallow I suppose. I was wearing an old VS padded push up until my puppy chewed it up when he was 3 months old. He's 9 months old now, so it's been awhile.
I got sick last week and lost 9 pounds so I don't need an extender so that's a bonus. Ha. I really like the padding in push up bras though.. when I wear a lined bra and they look smaller and I hate that. It's not exactly what I was going for 10 years ago when I had my augmentation. Most bras smash them to the point that they feel like they're collapsing my lungs so I know I need deeper cups.
I have high profile implants, and my left is about 50/50 breast tissue & implant. The right is pretty much silicone and nipple. So you can see why I had the augmentation.
If anyone has a favorite push up, please let me know! I need a nice bra that shows the girls to their best advantage and, more importantly, doesn't cause pain!

I know it's not exactly what you're asking for (sorry!) but I wear padded half cup bras almost exclusively and they make my average chest look pretty big I think! Just the padding and the fact that they hold my breasts up and forward at a flattering angle makes a big difference. There's also the option to add "cookie" pads in them which can give a slight pushup effect without the discomfort that can come with pushup bras. My favorites are Comexim 3 part half cups, but other brands make great ones as well.
The problem with most pushups out there is that they have so much padding at the bottom that they become very shallow overall, so if you're even a little bit projected they tend to not to stay in place and cause pain.
