Breast Question For Those Who Have Had A Breast Lift Or Reduction Prior To Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Did your breasts maintain the shape you had after weight loss? I've been looking into a reduction with a lift, and I dont want to wait until goal (in about a year to year in a half.) I want to start the process maybe a few months after surgery after about 60 to 80 lbs.

I want to hear from women that has had lifts/reductions in the recent past, that started their sleeve journey between 250-300 lbs and has lost 80 to 150 pounds. I want to know if you had major sagginess, etc. Do you see yourself needed another lift or are your boobs still in shape?

I was reading about breast reduction and the two types of breast tissue, the fattier tissue, which weighs less than the more dense tissue. As I would imagine the fattier breasts would become smaller during the weight loss process than a woman with more dense tissue. But thats just my own theory.

My surgeon said wait a year (plastic surgeon). I have been reading online that waiting up to 2 years is the go. Instant gratification is great (I'm in desperate need of a reduction and lift) but getting the life long result is what I am waiting for!

My all time high was 308, today I am 165. I was a 48 DDD (very tight) now I am a 40 DD and EVERYTHING has dropped. (my breasts, stomach, face, etc etc ). I definitely would not get any plastic surgery until you are done losing weight and you see what you have left. I just started getting ps consults and I was told with a breast lift, redundant skin is removed, so I will be smaller. I said I don't want to be too much smaller because I don't want implants- two dr so far told me, not to worry-they will only remove skin, so I should have plenty left. But if you get a reduction half way through the journey, you may find at the end you may want implants! (There was someone on another site who had this happen to her).

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
