Any one had a Breast Reduction?
So I just went from an ~ 34FF UK/ 34H/I US to quite possibly a 32C/34B/C, depending on where I settle. I'm still only 2 weeks P/O so I'll be in compression for a bit, but I would love advice for finding out my new shape/size, or any soft lace bras.
Please speak up, if you've done this and have any advice,

Confirm if true, but reductions do not change the breast root, and only reduce the projection of the breast, so a reduced breast would start off as having a shallower shape since it probably keeps its original "big boob" foot print.
That said, it's also true that it can be up to 6 months or more for them to settle into their final shape.
Nipple position may also be in an unexpected place, you'll quickly see if your nipples are high and have to avoid short cups to avoid peeking.
Thank you for responding.
It is true that often the root is the same, although not all large breasts have a large or wide footprint. Many are small or narrow but very projected (or sagging in my case, LOL), but not wide in diameter. Also, depending on the procedure, part of the diameter is reduced by a pie-shaped wedge removed, providing lift/projection, or a more conical end shape.
It's true shape takes time to settle.
I apologize, I should have been more clear that I am seeking finding out shapes in bras, not my breast shape, at this point.
If it makes sense, I used to need a narrow, projected wired/cup, (Freyas, Ewa Michalak) but will now need still narrow, but yes, shallower cups, and have no clue of mainstream bras, where I can name any full cup bra shape/projection, LOL.
Like, are Maidenform or Warners narrow in underwires? It's a whole new library of manufacturer for me to explore!
I have no worries about nipple height, although they were "raised" a couple inches, they are now in what would be an expected place in the right bra. My surgeon drew on me where everything would end up, and surprisingly, even the space between my breasts is now narrower.
I can't wait to walk into a store and buy an in-stock mainstream size!
