Boob job post weight loss surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I had weight loss surgery about six months ago and have now lost over three stone, I only have 2 to go until I am at my ideal weight. I have heard about the fat transfer breast enhancements and wonder if anybody else has had this? Sounds like a great way to aid in my further weight loss as well as replenish my somewhat saggy boobs.

Anyone had this done or had any other breast implants post surgery, and can you tell me if you have this done at your ideal weight or before?

Many thanks you beautiful people!!

I just had a lift and Implants four weeks ago. I was 18 months out and had been stable at goal for six months. I didn't have enough fat left for a fat transfer.

Wow that's great!! To not have enough fat left you must be a lean mean bariatric machine ;0)

How was the pain of the surgery compared with the weight loss version and are you happy with the look hon?

Ps.. How much did you lose if you don't mind me asking?

@@jess9395 I want to do that!! How much does it cost to get the two done? If that's rude to ask then you don't have to tell me. I've always been interested! I live in Mo so prices are different everywhere and vary but I'm Trying to decide which would be best to do first either tummy or that...maybe both at the same time but the tummy is rather painful and not sure about yours maybe too much at one time?!

Yeah my body fat was at 18% pre plastics not sure if that's changed--I have become a marathon runner and practice yoga 3-4x a week.

I went from 271 to 135 so lost 136lbs.

Pain--well hard to say because in addition to the boobs I had a Tummy Tuck and arm lift at the same time and overall recovery and pain was much worse that WLS! If I had and only one procedure would have probably been better!!!

I've been doing thermo and Lipo wraps.. That and collagen gel which has shrunk my stomach and got rid of stretch marks although I'm not sure of lasting effects at the moment.

I was thinking that if I can get the fat breast job then it shrinks the stomach, things and bum which are always the problem areas so what can't be to love.. Just to find out reviews of it really.

Any other surgery I'll hang on for and see what the results look like first to save additional pain and expense (that's because I'm tight ;0)

Reg prices for fat transplant.. They vary country to country to best google it for your area hon. Good luck and let me know how you get on x

WOW!! Congratulations!!! If I can lose half that I'll be happy! I'm starting yoga next week but a bit worried as my port gets irritated when I lay on it but I'm sure it will be fine. That's a lot of hard work and dedication, you must be so proud.. And brave to have all of that done at once!

I am in CA so our prices are high--all three together were $23K. I could look up the individual arm lift, breast lift/augment (I know the implants were $1800) and Tummy Tuck prices when I am home.

It was a lot to get done at once! Tough recovery but I only have to do it once instead of several and that fits my personality and lifestyle better. Many surgeons won't do all that at once in the states and my surgeon specifically said he could because he didn't have to do any Lipo to go with it which makes the surgery longer and more risky.

Oh wow you did it all at one time! Your one tough cookie! That would be the way to go though. Are you loving the results? So tummy, arms, lift and implants. That's not a bad price for all of it! One of the girls at one of my clinics said she had a lift and implants and it cost her almost 18,000 then she did it two more times Because she didn't feel like they were big enough....crazy!

      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.
