Hello everyone its my first time posting. I wanted to know if you lose breast size after surgery, does it look bad, and you think you should get breast reduction or plastic surgery?

I'm down around 115 pounds and like 5 band sizes, but barely one cup size. The cup size didn't happen until about 3 months ago, and I was a bit upset as I was happy with my overall size there. I've got some skin wrinkling if I move or sit a certain angle, but they don't look that much different otherwise and I have hopes that the skin might tighten up naturally as long as I make sure to keep the breasts supported so I wear a sleep bra at night and a supportive regular bras during the waking hours to help minimize the stretching.

It really depends on breast size and your breasts' composition mostly. Breasts are not composed of just fat; they contain ducts, breast tissue and fat. If when you first developed you had large breasts, then it's likely you won't deflate as significantly because you'll likely have dense breast tissue, but if they got larger as you got larger, then it's likely they are composed of mostly fat and will see much more sagging in the end. Age and length of time obese will play a factor in how good they'll look.

How you lose weight is also an issue as well because some women lose and their breasts unfortunately sag significantly and some have denser breast tissue and don't see as much changes.

I qualify for both sugeries however, my pcp, my bariactic surgeon, and a Dr friend all suggested to get the weight loss first then lift what ever needs to be fixed later. Getting the breast reduction first then the wls could change the size and shape of the breast.

Oh you need to do the weight loss first - you may end up needing another surgery if not.

Mine totally deflated. Never dreamed I would get implants after spending most of my life a G-ish cup (anywhere from 36G to 42DDD over the years).

Plastics restored me to a 32DD/DDD.

I have lost about a cup size and expect to lose another cup. When I was thin in high school and at my lowest, I was a B cup. When I gained weight I made it to a D cup. I expect to end up back in a B cup...ive never been "blessed". Always wanted bigger ones, but not at the cost of gaining 120lbs!! lol

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
