Hi all,

After losing weight we know that we loose weight from all parts of the body. If you were to loose a lot from your breasts would you consider getting breast augmentation or breast implants to fill you out, or a breast lift to bring you back up north instead of heading down south....??

Hi Green,

To each her own, I guess...I've never been accused of being petite or delicate :crying: so being busty doesn't bother me...

As to being more "chic" with a smaller bustline, on that one I'll have to respectfully disagree...I think that a woman's body size (or any part thereof) does not have to be the determining factor of her 'chicness'. As a trained Image Consultant, I have helped many women overcome societal prejudice about their size and the subsequent issues it raises with women's self-esteem. Sometimes I feel like an unpaid therapist...

Though I would never wish ill on anyone, some of the women I've met and the stories they have told me of body intolerance among other WOMEN makes me particularly sensitive to assumptions and generalizations and the negative effects they can have.

I've not had ANY problems with my back or shoulders - though I know there are women who have had issues because of a heavy bustline (I believe Dolly Parton had her implants reduced in size because of this). I preferred to build my musculature in the gym and then I didn't have to worry about how big my breasts were. I know that's not necessarily the answer for everyone, but it was (and continues to be) for me.

I promised myself that when I got this surgery and lost the weight that I would not forget what it was like to be heavy...or to be full-busted and have to be subject to random comments from perfect strangers (which I've endured since age 16) about "what size bra you wear"...

I'm sure you didn't mean any harm...but I guess you touched a nerve!

Ebony, you raise good points which I had never thought of before. Thanks for your reply.

Heather, boob size isn't related to weight. You will see well endowed thin women and you will see small breasted thin women. You will see well endowned large women and you will see small breasted large women. I have seen quite large women who would be a B cup. That's related to genetics. Of course, if you are bigger, then you are going to put on in the boobs as well, but being overweight doesn't automatically mean big boobs.

As for the OP question, yes I will have surgery. I've already lined up 2 procedures I want done. I want to get my teeth fixed and I want to have a bit of a face lift. I'm definitely in favour of the breast lift, as I've been saggy since I was 13. No kids, just extremely rapid enlargement in that area. And If I got too small, I would consider implants. Though, I'd go to a C cup. Anything more is just getting too big again.

if i got to flat YES! i dont wanna be smaller than 38D a lift for sure if needed

Sure...if I needed to. Although I had a reduction done 2 years ago so I guess I had the opposite problem. If I had been flat chested I would have had implants done.

THis thread has been going for ages. I've now shrunk to a C cup at 5ft 10 and I love it. I will ONLY get an implant if I really really have to when I have a lift - which I wont be able to afford for a year or two yet. I dont want big boobs, I prefer smaller ones, I like the way they look and I love the way they dont get in the way of anything.

I've played around with padding up a bra with bust enhancers, and it doesnt really improve the look of my bustline, it just makes me look beefier all over.

and I can run now without having to wear a bra that rivals the Syndey Harbour Bridge as a feat of engineering.

When I lose all of my weight, I know for sure I'll need a breast lift. If it turns out that implants would be necessary, I will definitely get them. My only concern is paying for the surgery. I've had a large chest my entire adult life, so it would seem strange to not have boobs like I've always had. :thumbup:

I would definitely get a lift, maybe a reduction as well.

I have gotta say that now that I am skinny I can wear high fashion stuff and I am really enjoying this. It does look much better with small tits, however. If you want favourable attention from the men, dye your hair blonde; they seem to like this. *wink* And they like lipstick.

Yep, I'm still loving my new smaller boobies. I dont regret the shrinkage one little bit.

But when I search out pics of post bariatric breast lifts, they all look kind of weird and squarish and still have no volume on the top. I want the more rounded look that an implant would give but I definitely dont want the size, I'd like to stay a C cup.

Everything hangs nicely, men dont gawk at them, but its enough to make good cleavage, its the perfect size.

I think I"ll give the huge norgs, lipstick and blonde hair a big miss thanks all the same. I way prfer being dark and interesting.

I had a lift before I even had my band and your right if your breast sag bad(nipples pointing down) most likely you'll need implants. The top will indeed be flat and it looks kinda weird. I'm recoving from a BA now and thats why I got it, To fill out the top. I think it just depends on what you as a person wants to look like.

OH, and wanted to say I didn't get them hugh. They are still smaller then when I went in for the lift(They took me down 2 1/2 sizes w/lift) Now just a D cup And thats with the implants

For Sure!!! Got mine lifted and new implants 2 weeks ago..... from losing all my weight I went from a 46 DD to a 34 partial A cup.... They flopped and sagged and looked like 2 deflated balloons............ I am much happier now...

Well I know I replied in this thread about a year ago, but it's too much hassle to go back and find that comment, so I just have to hope I'm being consistent here. Now that I've lost a fair bit of the weight I want to lose (still a ways off goal though!), I've been starting to focus on surgical ways to complete the transformation.

My skin is fairly saggy in spite of regular gym workouts and I have two major scars (one on my back/side and one on my tummy) that really emphasise the sags and folds, so I'm looking to do a full lower body lift that will cut out the existing scars as part of the process. In addition, my G-H cup boobs have deflated down horribly. With all the loose skin, I have to roll them up to stuff them in a bra and the skin does mean I still fill an E cup but the boobs are basically empty. When I lie down, they fall in on themselves into ugly wrinkled empty sacks :sneaky: Very upsetting.

After all these years of having huge norks, I can't imagine life with little boobs and I don't think it would fit my self-image. I want my pre-fat full and luscious E cups back, not these horrible things on my chest :smile2:

I think I'll end up with a major reconstruction - reduction/lift to get rid of all the sagging skin and then implants to fill what's left back up again! Hmmm... I wonder if they can remove the extra pair of "armpit boobs" that I have too?

Can't wait to find out what's possible at my first visit to the plastic surgeon in June!!

Yep, they did lipo on mine, and I'm going back in May so PS can pull skin a little tighter and round um up at the bottom a little more. overall they are so so much better.
