Question about the tata's-lift/reshaping/reduction

[CBT 450]

Why weren't you a candidate for just a lift, if you don't mind answering.

I would have lifted into an A cup. Maybe a B cup. She didn't have any facia to work with to reconstruct. My implants are sub muscular because of that. I was a 40 DD.

Just wondering if any of you don't like the idea of getting implants because your boobs were huge when you were big? I know I've had to deal with DDD 's for years before losing weight and the idea of huge boobs on a small frame freaks me out a little. That's why I can't wrap my head around a boob job, just lift what I've got.... Guess it doesn't really work that way if all u have left is skin. Hoping fake boobs don't come with the back and neck pain.

In the next couple of months I go in for my lift and reduction. I'm ready. Doc says I need 2 weeks off from work. Not sure when I can get that much time off again. Like to go back in a week. Since I got the LBL my back hurts worse than ever! I'm a DDD now like to go to a D or C

I feel so much better being smaller.

So when I started out I was a 36 F and now I'm a 32 D because of skin I think I'm more like a B if you hold all the lose skin tight at least they still look ok in a bra but from going from huge to flat I kinda miss having just a little something so I'm looking in to reduction and implants as well can't wait.

Since my surgery, I am now a 38F and I need to convince my insurance company to pay for reduction..they just hang.

I am not sure where my boobs will end up. I know as a teenager I was a 34D cup at 130 lbs. I am currently at the beginning of my WLS journey and not sure where my 44DDD will end up. I am weird as I have never in my life had perky porn star boobs and if I had to change the shape of them now it would be only to lift them maybe 1/2 inch. I am not sure how I feel about implants or perky boobs in the future. I'm wearing sports bras at night since surgery hoping that the support helps me keep them in place!

I'm the same size as you! I'm 23 and terrified of where my boobs might end up. Luckily I've always had gorgeous breasts, but with the big drop in weight I hope they don't drop as well. I'm pre-op and would like to prevent as much loose skin/sagging as possible. Anyone have a similar situation?

You are young so you will have that on your side when it comes to your skin rebounding. I love my tear drop boobs (as does my husband) and just not sure at 40 I'm going to want round ones. Wonder if I should take a pic now to tell the surgeon to make them look like this in the end lol... actually that may not be a bad idea.

That's a great idea! I think I'll do the same just in case. I really hope youth is on my side. Though I think I'll be happy with the outcome no matter what. It would be great to be even 30 pounds down.

thanks again to everyone for the ongoing candid answers!

like I said before, i'm sure i'll need SOME work done. truly, I needed a serious lift and reduction even when I was thin and young, so i'm just thinking ahead!

I love the way my breast lift turned out without implants. Beautiful and natural! I am sure y'all will agree my 32C is much better and beautiful than what I had before.

I didn't know that was a possibility! Things that make you go hmmmmm...

Some ladies get a lift and reduction or just a lift. My boobs nearly disappeared with weight loss but they were still in the right place..Haha..just no breast tissue...all skin. Much better now that Dr Sauceda fixed em!

I think I need Dr Sauceda contact info
