I'd def have it done! I'm all about looking my best, and if I think boobies would help me look better than why not?! DH loves what I've got now, and since they are already shrinking I'm pretty sure I'll have to endure the pain to make us both happy! My mom and MIL had it done, and neither of them were in too much pain, so I'm not very scared about having that done. Now the TT, that I'm worried about. If i need it I'll have it. I dont need to look perfect but if there's too much there it's gonna have to go away!

Since you are in AZ, i would recommend Dr. Borsand in Scottsdale. He is awesome. I got implants in 2005.

Also, he has what he calls the 24 hour procedure. There is very little scarring, and within 24 hours the pain is minimual. It felt like i had a hard workout the day before, that type of pain. I went back to work within a week. His website is bodynew.com

I'd hate to not have nipple sensation.

I had a reduction about 6 years ago, and I have so much MORE sensation now than I did before. I used to not even notice if a guy was touching my nipples, but now I act like I'm in heat as soon as they are touched!!!

My surgery date is 2 days from today, and I am really hoping my girls don't flatten out! I've gained weight since the reduction, and they've gotten only slightly bigger, but due to the extra weight in them, they've dropped more. :tt2: I'm afraid they will be pancakes once I'm at my goal weight. It makes me sad because I've always had big boobs! They are part of my identity!

I would never get implants. I have always had little bitty boobies. It would be nice to have bigger ones, but there is no way I would go through the cost to have them made bigger. I don't see the point.

I guess I am used to having little ones. I also really like going without a bra.

I have always had C cups, still do, just now they are Deflated C cups. I had a consultation this past week and as much as I want them, I dont know if I can find the extra $$$ it's going to cost on top of the getting a TT also. We shall see what happens after other consults. But yes I would love to have a small implant to plump up the girls back where they are supposed to be. :-D

I've only lost about 35 pounds and right now my boobs look nice, but I can already tell they are deflating. I used to not be sure, but I've always been known as the girl with the huge knockers lol. If they were seriously deflated and droopy I would def get some kind of lift, maybe with an implant. I want to have nice big boobs that look like 20 year old boobs, not 70 year old boobs~! lol

Me too....the last time I lost a ton of weight, I went from DD to C, so I think I looked good. HOWEVER, if they start hanging, as I'm sure they will since I'm heading into my 50s in a coupla years here, I will most certainly be getting it done if I can afford it. Right along with a tummy tuck! My boobs are my girls! It's all I got! I'm single...I need something to haul the guys in! LOL!

I am definately leaning toward implants. For all those ladies who feel ginormous...I currently wear a 42JJ - that means the boobies are more than 10" larger (circumference) than my body. It's not so bad because I'm nearly 6' tall and broad-shouldered. :tongue2:

Bravissimo.com is wonderful - pricey, yes, but they were the only store I found when I began my journey to find the right bra size that had what I needed. When most people think a DDD is a "large" cup size, that doesn't mean much to me! I also didn't want to wear ugly bras - and Bravissimo has some of the most beautiful ones I've ever seen.

The Lane Bryant Cacique bras are great - now if they would go above a H cup, I'd be thrilled!:thumbup:

I do NOT want to go down to a C...maybe a DD, because that's what I was in high school before I got so much heavier. Most likely, I will have to find a specialist - I tend to get keloids (raised, puffy scars) and I need someone who can handle that, plus has operated on African-Americans. A lot of the sites I see don't have any pictures that look like me - that's important to me. :)

I pray that they won't get too flat and saggy with the weight loss, but I'm not so sure that won't happen. I will definately be working out throughout my journey, so hopefully I can minimize the need for surgery.

Good luck to all!:thumbup:

Up until age 31 I was a 34B. That was perfect for me. I HATE having huge, heavy, uncomfortable breasts. I'm delighted that mine are getting smaller. I was a 42DD and am down to a loose 38D. I in no way want implants. I want to be smaller. BUT. At my age, they do droop, so a breast LIFT is definately in order.

Even in my skinny days, my breasts were NEVER perky. I have been thinking about implants for years. I just felt there was no point in getting them while fat. After I lose my weight, I plan to use that as an excuse to go ahead and have it done.

I am definitely getting implants. I have gone from a DD to a D cup and I know that after removing the excess skin that I might be lucky to be left with a C cup. I got use to having larger breasts and I am missing them, that and the fullness. Right now my breasts are puddling in my bras making it impossible to get decent cleavage. I describe the way they look in a bra like a puddle of Water with a breeze blowing making ripples on the top. Not pretty. As for the final size my bf and I disagree, he would like to see a large DD or higher and Im thinking more about a large D. Men..... lol

I went in to the cosmetic surgeon for a consult Monday. He said I have enough tissue for a C cup, but I'm used to a DD or a DDD. I could live with a C, but I'm not sure my husband can.

Since I've got over 100 lbs to lose, I KNOW I'm going to have some changes in the bustline...I've said before, I'm a 42JJ, so now I'm considering what I'd like to drop "down" to...:girl_hug:

Perhaps a DD or F, depending on what the rest of me looks like. Because I'm tall, I think I can carry more *ahem* junk up top than maybe a more petite woman could.:thumbup:

Hubby says don't "add" anything, just lift and tighten what's there...now when the time comes, I'll just have to find a surgeon that specializes in tiny "seams"...because I keloid, that's super-important to me.

Anyone know of any specialists out there? It never hurts to start early...

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
