Breast size after surgery



Recommended Posts

If/when I get surgery and lose enough weight, a trip to Colombia to visit my brother for the summer is in order. It is the Land of Plastics!!

I've loved reading these posts. With one or two exceptions we all seem to want the girls to shrink to a more manageable size. The thing is I vividly remember lusting after breasts, I was 14 and a late developer. I even resorted to cotton wool in the cups lol! Be careful what you wish for is all I can say. Back in the 60s larger cupped bras were thin on the ground and what were available were obviously designed by someone who built bridges in a previous life. Nowadays at least some attempt is made to give us larger ladies a bit more lacy nonsense but let's face it, holding those big girls up calls for some serious infrastructure. I look at the lacy pieces of frippery and long to fasten one on. So what if I'm well past the first flush of youth, in my head I'm still young.

Sigh I hope mine shrink... I've been in a bra since age 8... I needed underwire by 4th grade.. I was a DD cup by 8th grade.. which was terribly embarrassing to me.. and worse off there's an obvious size discrepancy- both are large but there's at -least- half a cup if not full cup difference.. and I hate that.. I've been embarrassed by it for years.. all through high school and college I wore bras and finally last summer on a really hot day I just HAD It.. I took off my bra... looked at the lines it had put on my body from being stretched around my middle.. and I decided I couldn't stand it one second longer.. Now if I MUST wear a bra I wear a sports bra.. otherwise I'm wearing nothing.. My mom is mortified LOL Coming from a very conservative Christian home (even though she grew up in the 60's) she can't imagine how I can leave the house without a bra... but she's also very small busted so I don't think she really gets how miserable it is to have been a DD (and now probably bigger! since high school was the last I was measured ) since I was 12-13 years old.. I want to be able to wear cute little bralets and stuff.. I would like to be a B cup and perky or something.. Sigh..

Love this post ! The long bosoms and rolling them up like sock, yes that's me alright. I went from 42 DD now in 34 FF but that's a small price to pay for the weight loss. Onward and downward I say !

I always had big breasts when I was young and at a normal weight. It runs in my family and most of my female family members have had reductions. I never gained in my breasts, just in band size really.

I have lost a 120lb and gone from a DD to a G, my breasts are the same size, I never gained in my breasts. My back and side fat is almost all gone, I lost a lot of upper body weight (except my arms, sigh).

I have a friend that recently had a reduction and was told if you really have a lot of breast tissue, it can continue to increase as you age.

If you are up to an H, you will probably still have really large breasts.

I went down in band size and up in cup size but I will admit I've been probably wearing the wrong size for years. I was a 42 DD. I am now wearing a 36FF. I got fitted and had to get bras with "molded" cups. I look fantastic with my bra on, but with it off...sweet baby Jesus turn off the lights man.

HA I think it hurt because the band size got too small because I got fatter but I definitely do need to get remeasured.. and if my cup size goes up I'm getting a reduction. The stupid DD is already bigger than I want -.- I wish I was one of those girls with small ones.

Mine disappeared. Ironic, since when I was MO I wanted a reduction. Be careful what you wish for I guess! I was a 44D, and uncomfortable - so probably bigger.

After the weight loss, I was a 34 B/C. Hard to really fit right when it's kind of rolled up. Sad but true. If allowed to lie flat I would be an A!

I'm 2 1/2 weeks post op from buying new ones ;-) Never thought I'd ever do that.

@@LipstickLady VS suck at fitting people. I had a girl try and tell me I was a DD. I had to laugh. Plus they only go up to a DD in the store and DDD on line

@hazelzay. When I started I was 230lbs and my bra was a 44G/H. Now I'm 143 and my bra is a 34H. I Didn't lose any cup size only band size. They are still full and pointing east and not due south.

At 6 months out, I've gone from a 50 G to a 44 D. The cups are just filled with empty skin though. Without a bra on, they are completely flat, long, and so so sad compares to their former beautiful selves. It's

On my list of things to fix after I reach my goal though. Right behind my belly, thighs, and arms.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
