How do I hoist these girls up!?



Recommended Posts

I've never had saggy boobs before, but they are tiny saggy sad little b-c ish balls of boob. I cannot, for the life of me, find a bra that will bring the girls up, and not leave lines in my back and pushing out sideboob .Any ideas? And going into a store to get measured, is kind of out of my comfort zone, so that's out.

Boob job. :) I didn't have the problem of small saggy boobs...mine were large, hanging, udders. I did like the Victoria Secret Body collection which has a good lift and a strong underwire, however ultimately I just had a breast lift and augment done and now these girls are suspended right where they should be.

I went with the boob job too. Best thing EVER. In my area, breast lift with augmentation runs about $7500, but I went to Mexico and got a Tummy Tuck and all-over Lipo at the same time for a total of about $10500 (including a two week stay in the recovery house there and daily visits from my surgeon!).

Getting measured is out of your comfort zone but surgery is not? With all due respect, let me please assure you that these women are professionals and have seen it all. I have 'breasticles'. Useless hanging flesh that sits on my chest and not between my legs. I got measured and spent quite alot of money on very good bras. You wouldn't believe how good the girls look sitting in those very expensive boulder holders. Obviously if you want surgery, go for it honey, but don't rule out a way less invasive option.

Lane Bryant Cacique Balconette is doing the trick for me. My girls have NEVER been perky, but after losing 60 lbs. they weren't as robust as before (no pun intended). I love the Cacique bras and seamless panties. Wait for one of their really good sales. If you can get an associate who knows how to properly fit you in a new bra, you'll be in great shape. I believe all associates have been training in fitting for bras. I had an excellent idea of what size I was going to need when I last shopped there. The unfortunate thing was they quit carrying the style I had been wearing for about 2-3 years (back smoother), so the associate recommended the Balconette. The girls and I are happy now.......so is my hubby :rolleyes:

I have to say I echo what @@gowalking said. Surgery should be the last option unless your really in major discomfort. i know how large boobs can feel when they are weighing you down and finding a bra that fits comfortably and does the job is a daunting task especially while you are in the process of losing weight! I have had to change my bra size 3 times already, and those suckers can be expensive!! My cup size has not changed very much but my body circumference has thank goodness they come with three levels of closure so they at least last through a few dress size changes.

When I am at the gym or doing any kind of impact sport, or even working at home doing yard/house work I always wear a sports bra for support. I find that having the correct garments are really important to how you look in your clothes and ultimately out of them.

I echo MrsSugarbabe on Lane Bryant's Cacique bras. I hate underwires so I get the full coverage ones without the underwire. Their prices aren't too bad, have quite a few color choices, they also have the three level closure hooks, are comfortable and often go on sale.

I went to a high end dept. store, got measured, found out I was wearing a totally wrong size bra. I bought two Waacol bra's . they are the most comfortable and best fitting bra's ever. I already had old lady sag but when I lost weight they really hung low. the waacol bra's lift em up and getting professionally measured made all the difference.

I am another fan of the Lane Bryant Cacique bras. The underwire balconette has great support and a nice round shape.

Getting measured is nothing compared to a boob job! The surgeon has to draw all over your breasts while you are standing there naked, before he puts you to sleep. So I would think the help of a nice salesperson would seem very do-able in comparison! A good quality bra in the correct size can hide a multitude of sins. Take the plunge ????

Another vote for Cacique bras from Lane Bryant. I haven't tried the balconette but the t shirt bras are great. Underwire and shaping keep them where they're supposed to be.

Watch for the sales and it's not too bad.

They'll check you for correct size and it's done over your clothing so there isn't any reason to be squirmish.

Lane Bryant is having a sale NOW!!! Some styles of Cacique bras are buy 2, get 2 free and other Cacique styles are buy 1, get 1 for 50% off. I placed an order online last night -- free shipping to the store closest to you. Even though my last purchase was of the smooth balconette, only because I was told the back smoother had been discontinued, I noticed online last night that the back smoother was available again so that is what I ordered. Either style works well for me and my girls :D Happy shopping, Ladies!!!

      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
