Breast lift w/ Implants

[XX BeGone 0]

Hi,

I have a question for you LARGE BREASTED ones out there... I mean LARGE that have had or considered PS for your breast.

Currently I am a 34J(US)/34GG(UK) - I used to be a 48I :eek:

I have never minded my breast being large, and never desired a reduction, only lift and firmenss, so I would like to hear about any one in my size range who had a breast lift w/ implants to keep your size around DD/DDD or larger.

How do you feel about your size - do you wish you would have kept them larger but lifted or are you pleased w/the size?

Is there anyone who had a reduction and now you have regreats that they appear too small to you?

I know when I get to goal I want to have a lift w/ some implants, unless the surgeon can lift them and make them look full again w/ out loosing too much size. I am thinking I might get down to a 30-32 and I would still like to be large - more than a DD, just because I am so used to being large on top, plus I think it will look good w/ my hip/waist ratio. (I have small shoulders, so the large breast help to give me more of an hour glass, and helps hides my pear shape).

Does anyone know if insurance would pay for a reduction if I only reduced to a DDD/F - I know sometimes they want to reduce the size so drastically, and that is what I am concerned of.

If you also know of any photos of befores & afters will you please link them?

Thanks.

I think it would be hard to get a really good long lasting lift result without decreasing size.

I know what you mean with shoulder ratio though, I'm the same,narrow shouldered and wide hipped and I am really thinking a little more breast when I have a lift will balance me out nicely.

But really large breasts make you look fatter than you are. Unless you dress to reveal them, then everything hangs from them and makes you look big all through the middle too. I've two girlfriends that had reductions and both looked amazingly (and flatteringly) slimmer as a result.

Thanks - you know I was not consider the future sag factor... LOL I know they will be reduced in size, but I guess I am just "afraid" of going to small - I love the before and after pics, but I wish they would give the measurements of rib cage & breast. Not just what size bra (many wear the wrong size) or how many CC's were put in.

I am sure a DD would probably look great on me when I loose more weight.

I did take a picture of me and photoshopped my stomach as if I had a TT and left my breast the same size, and by seeing that, it did help to see there was room for reduction.

I wouldn't suggest getting a lift and implants at the same time. I would get the lift, then the implants later. My doc won't do them at the same time.

Why wouldn't you?

Well, my doc explained it like this. How does it make sense to try to tighten up something that has become all saggy, and then add more weight to it on top of that? He said it's best to get the lift, heal, and then get the implants, and he showed me some pics of people who got implants and a lift at the same time and the implants moved out of place.

Thanks Brandy - that was good to know.

Go to www.makemeheal.com and select before and after pictures. Then choose "breat reduction" from the pulldown menu.

They have hundreds of pictures of before and after for breast reduction. You are bound to find at least one that fits your situation.

thanks - someone else just pointed me there too - having a look around. I love that it has the measurements so that is very helpful.
