Curious as to how much people lost in cup size after a breast lift.

How long after implants were you able to wear good bras?

What do you mean by good?

What cup size are 475cc?

Cup size is relative to band size so it depends. Plus you have to add whatever tissue you have left to that volume so it’s different for everyone.

I had some of my own tissue left, but I don’t know how many cc’s I had. My band size is 32. 350cc put me at 32DDD

I went from 42ddd to 34ddd then had reduction that went wrong do currently I’m 34a/b but getting surgery in March to full D @475cc dr says that’s were he should put me considering I have lots of loose skin after reduction

Wondering this too! I'm getting a body lift first, but want a breast/arm lift after! I'm a 34DD now. I'd like to stay in the C/D range and dont' really want implants.

Yup cuz you roll it up and put it in the cups! I used to say I was a 32 "long" it was mostly tube socks rolled up and filling out my bra.

I feel like I’m following you with this. I’d like to be the same size as “now” (though “now” may still be in flux) but not saggy droopy bags of skin, but 32dd actual, up on the chest, boobs. My cleavage now is wrinkled like a prune. I think my first surgery will be the boobs and I am looking for SoCal surgeons who do the implants at the same time as the lift.

Right this second i am wearing 34DD and thrilled to get out of the ddd size so I can buy bras in a regular store. However, I measure under the boobs 31 inches, so I know I will end up at size 32, which is what I was years ago before the fat. I will always have the natural big booty, so even at goal weight (where I almost am) I can carry off the DD cup size.

I had a breast lift in 2012 (I worked for the plastic surgeon at the time) - I went from a DD to a D cup just from the lift procedure alone.

If you’re willing to go to Santa Barbara PM me and I will tell you about my surgeon!

so 10 weeks post op and I'm still wearing the same bras I did before my lift, they just fit better. However, I am going to need a revision of the lift, so with a second lift I would imagine that it is probable I will lose another size.

I was a 42DDD now I am a 38DDD whats wrong with this picture? I am still large on top

and boobs for days LOL...??

Yep I went from a 42 DDD/E to a 32DDD with weight loss. I think after my lift is complete i'll be a D/DD.

Dr. J. Timothy Katzen in Beverly Hills is a great plastic surgeon whose practice is focused on WLS patients. He does excellent work and definitely would do lift and implants together.

I was told u just loose skin so u should lose cup size as long as u have Breast tissue. They separate the two tissues push your breast tissue up they never remove any of your breast tissue. Then they remove the skin. So it is all based on how much breast tissue u have

How long after weight loss should you wait before a breast lift? My WLS surgeon advises to wait a year in case the skin elasticity improves. I hate my breasts. I want to cry every time I look at them.

Most surgeons say 6-12 months once you reach goal. Basically they want your weight to stabilize and stay the same for 6-12 months. I had my surgery at almost exactly 6 months after hitting goal, which was 18 months after sleeve surgery.

What happened to my boobs after surgery....they just disappeared. Years ago, I had a breast reduction...but after surgery...I might need a pick me up or implants. Grrr!!!
