losing weight means losing boobs?!



Recommended Posts

I am a pear shaped girl and I have been a C cup for the longest time. I went from 196 lbs down to 132 ish and I am now between a B and C cup. I think I am really a B cup, but I have loose skin that will lop out of the cup if I don't wear a C cup. I had an arm lift to get rid of extra skin on my arms one year ago. I am so excited because i am going to Mexico on April 30th to get a breast lift and breast augmentation. I am going to ask for a small D cup! Can't wait! Oh, I have been a size 8 shoe forever and now I am a 7-1/2.

I was at the mall with friends today and we were shopping and I decided I should get a new bra cause the one I was wearing had cup overflow (sometimes I try to cram myself into a DD) and my back hurt. So we went to lane bryant and I got a couple to try on. They didn't have one I wanted to try on in my size 44DDD so I tried on the 42DDD instead and it fit! It wasn't tight! And when I tried on the 44's in a couple of other models I noticed they were looser so I went I got 42s especially at the rate I am losing. I was really surprised. I have only lot about 15 pounds so far- and not quite that many. My jeans are loose of course but not loose enough to have me looking at the 20s in my closet. So I wasn't expecting to go down a bandsize this quickly!

How much weight before the cup size change happens?

Does your doc have a website?

The first doctor I used for my arm lift was Sergio Soberanes. He charged $3500 and you can see him at www.yourmakeovers.com. I am using a different doctor for my breast lift and augmentation. He is charging $4100 and his name is Alejandro L. Gaxiola. His website is www.mexico-direct.com. I don't feel that Dr. Soberanes did a bad job, but my arms didn't turn out quite like I had hoped. I may have had unrealistic expectations. I found Dr. Gaxiola's website and began speaking with his surgery coordinator, Luis. Luis is very nice and he will be picking me up at the airport and taking me to the clinic the day before surgery for my pre-op tests and then taking me to the hotel. The next morning he will pick me up and take me to the hospital and I will spend the night there. Then the next day he will take me back to the hotel to spend one more night. The next day he will take me back to the airport to fly home. All of this is included in the surgery price and he even made my hotel reservations! All of that played a part in my decision to use Dr. Gaxiola this time instead of Dr. Soberanes. I am not saying that I wouldn't go back to Dr. Soberanes, but I want to try Dr. Gaxiola this time. My breasts are really important to me and since I didn't get the results I expected with my arms I went with a different doctor. I am sure that both of these doctors have done a million breast surgeries! Don't get me wrong about my arms! I LOVE them compared to my old ones! I am going to ask Dr. Gaxiola's opinion on how good of a job Dr. Soberanes did on my arms, because like I said, maybe I had unrealistic expectations. I know they can only do so much! Both of these doctors are in Tijuana, Mexico. I found Dr. Soberanes on a link from Dr. Kuri's (lap band surgeon) website and I found Dr. Gaxiola by surfing the web!

Wow $4100.00 for a lift and aug is great. I am just getting implants with no lift because it is so much cheaper. I am paying $4500.00 for just that though. It was going to be $4000.00 mor if I got a lift to. I just cant come up with that kind of money.I do really need a lift though. Maybe later I guess. I would love to get my arms done to. If you have any before and after pics I would love to see them. Good luck to you on your breast augmintation. Mine is on April 5th and I cant wait.

If you go to www.yourmakeovers.com, my arm pics and my testimonial are on there. They were the last time I looked. I am wearing an orange spaghetti strap tank top in the pictures. If that doesn't work, then I would be happy to e-mail the pictures to you. About the cost of the breast surgeries, that is why I am going to Mexico! They wanted $7000 to do it here in Texas.

I'm down almost 90 pounds----I'll let you know WHEN it happens!!! Hasn't happen yet---just the band size, cup size has increased. But with all the back fat, and under arm fat lessening, I look smaller.

People have been hounding me to get a breat reduction since I first got boobs back in middle school pretty much. However I know they can go down in cup size with weight loss. It really depends how much of your boob is just fatty tissue and how much is actualy breast tissue. For some people, fat deposits in the breast area naturally and when they loose weight its all gone and they drop in cup sizes drastically. For others there is just more breast tissue that weight loss can't do anything to remove. I'm not too sure where I stand. My boobs have always been huge, but then again, so have I, hahaha. I'm a 40-42 DDD-G right now, they are always fluctuating with my weight, so I know that there is at least some fatty tissue in there. I just want to be able to lay down and not have my boobs come up and choke me. I would love to drop a couple cup sizes but will hold off on the reduction until I loose weight, then we'll see what needs to be done. Hope everyone elses boob troubles are going well!

When I lie on my back now, you could rest a cup of coffee on my chest (you'd have to balance it from rib bone to rib bone though, lol). These two sad little empty sacks disappear under my arms. Sigh.

I like em a whole lot more now though. Its ironic but now I boost them slightly because I'm cursed with very bad stretch marks from puberty and the skin is rather empty and destroyed. Its only by pushing them together that I can create a firm looking breast. So I wear swim suit shapers (which gives me a VERY nice looking pair) and buy bras with that side and underneath padding, I get a lovely rounded look which on a D is quite nice.

I absolutely HATED my E cup boobs. They didnt look sexy or shapely at all, they looked matronly, a big shelf jutting out in front. They were enormously aging.

Hi girls,

Well, I'm hoping to lost some boob!

I'm a size 16F (I think it's about 42F in US sizes), and I'm really hoping to go back down to 12D or 12DD. I'm F'ing sick of my F'ing huge boobs! Every shirt I buy makes me look like a stripper!

If I don't lose too much boob, even after I'm at goal, I'm thinking about a reduction. BUT i've seen reduction scars, and they can be horrific!

So i'm just going to wait and see....

Sadly as my weight has gone up and down down and up .. my boobs have remained the same. Only time I lost anything in the boobs was when the plastic surgeon took me from a III to a C/D and lifted them back up where they belonged.

My weight has yo-yo'd so much since then with kids and weight gain I expected them to grow .. they didn't .. so for me, I don't think loosing this weight will matter much in the end. I think they will remain the same. Will loose band size but that is really about it I think.

Actually they aren't that bad. You have to really look for mine. I had the traditional "key whole with areola placement" ... It has been almost 15 years and it is great. After two kids though, I am looking into getting a lift after I get to goal .. LOL

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
