Question for women that have had a breast reduction/lift before wls or a large amount of weight loss: Did your boobs still keep its lifted shape?

Had it over 25 years ago. Was a B cup after the surgery, and was at a normal healthy weight. As I gained weight, I ended up in a DD cup, so the mere weight and years caused mild drooping. However, as I lose weight, I can plainly see that I will end up with big flat pancake boobs, and intend to have it redone after reaching goal.

From your photo you appear to be much younger than I am, so you may fare better.

I had a reduction from a 36I (Yes, I) to a 36C when I was 18, so...15 years ago. I was overweight then, and only alittle more overweight now, but they are currently a 38F. I lost weight before, about halfway to my goal, and they shrank to a 36D and looked awesome. I'm kinda afraind that the recent growth though will mean that when they go down again, they will go dowwwwwnnnnn... and down... and down. I'm hoping that when they are flat and saggy there will be enough tissue to justify another reduction/lift, so I can just have my natural breast tissue made into some nice Bs or something. I'm so sick of huge boobs...

I was thinking it might be easier to get approval for a reduction at this size, as opposed to later, but my major concern is will it still look perky when I lose weight. My boobies are 44 G/H and was thinking about reducing them to a DD cup. I dunno, because Id like to still have breasts when at goal which is at least 125 lbs away. Im sure it would make better sense to fix them later.

I would wait. With a chest as large as you have, you will most likely end up with enough left over tissue to get insurance to cover a reduction / lift after the loss. That's what I'm hoping happens for me, if mine don't survive. Of course, I'd rather mine just make it. LOL I think that you'd still have alot of sag though, even if you get it now.

I would wait also my sister was reduced from a 42F to I think a 40D and she is over weight and her size what she went down to was baised on Insurance approvale they would only approve her if sh was taken down to a C and she is a FULL C I think the Dr worked with her so that if she lost weight she wouldn't be flat.

I had a reduction 15 yrs ago from a 36E to a full C cup. I was 170 at that time, since then I had another baby (and was able to breastfeed) and gained weight up to 226. I am back down to 201 right now and to be honest, my breasts have not changed much in the last 15 yrs. I am 44 now and they are still high and full,lol. I have no idea what will happen when I get down to my goal of 140. That will new territory for me!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
