Breast Lift

I'd get a lift & augmentation in a heartbeat after I'm done having kids. I can afford it so why not?

Breast lift/implants is the way I want to go when I'm done with my weight loss.

I've noticed, big time, & I only lost 20 pounds. You'd be amazed at how different a 36D looks compared to a 34D. My boyfriend and I are both sad about the loss of boobage lol. After I have kids, I definitely would see if a lift would be possible.

Yes they can go away due to being fatty tissue. You have to do what is best for you and what is going to make you feel good about yourself. Good luck:flowerforyou:

Yeah, 120lb's lost total here. Not happy with my boobies at all. Definately considering that and tummy tuck once I reach goal. After having my belly stretched beyond belief with my two boys, I could definately use one. In the meantime, it's push up bras for me. ))

My boobs are not and have never been especially large but other half reckons more than a handful is a waste so never worried about it too much although doesn't every girl dream of having 'perfect' breasts at some point or another these days as we are presented with the celebrity image of what we should be aspiring to (yeah right!).

I've just seen far too many examples of where implants have gone wrong to consider it - I'd rather have slightly saggy natural boobs than a pair of mis-shapen/lumpy artificial looking rocks stuck to my chest and the fact there is even a small risk of that happening puts me off! Also with sagging I think you have to go for uplift as well as augmentation for a decent result or else the implants may just sit in what is currently the saggy part of the breast and look a bit odd. I believe augmentation is really for the twenty something's who want volume rather than uplift - and even then you are opening yourself up to a lifetime of maintenance of said implants. I also figure that as nature decided I'd look just fine with B cups that anything else might look out of kilter with the rest of me

Upon saying that everyone is different and realise for some their boobs are a source of constant misery which I'm sure isn't much fun and know it all works out OK for lots of people and their lives are transformed by having surgery - just not for me as would rather accept what I've got rather than change it and possibly **** it right up!

That sounds like a nightmare!!! Not sure where you live, but it says in the post, that this procedure is not performed here in the US. Sounds like it's for a good reason.

uhhhahhhohah

you all sound very self conscious about your breasts, maybe overly so, and i know it's important that you're happy with your own body and since i'm a guy it's impossible for me to comprehend the sort of pressure and stress women have to go through in relation to their body image so maybe this won't mean anything to anyone... but i can guarantee that all your husbands and boyfriends, current or future, all feel like they don't get to see or touch your breasts nearly enough - no matter how long the list of defects you can point out about them or how unperfect they may seem

Hi Everyone,

Do you notice that after a significant amount of weight loss your boobs tend to lose there voluptuousness! I am seriously considering a breast lift and I haven't even had children yet. I lost 46 pound btw an I am the only one that notices this? I see celebrities on the tv all the time that lose a big amount of weight and they have no stretch marks, sagging skin etc.. I am doing something wrong or are these people having surgery?

They'll never cop to surgery for their transformations. It will always be attributed to some BS diet that they claim did it for them or some "secret" workout program.

People are saying that having babies ruins breasts. Well, that's not really true for everyone. I've had two babies and breastfed and I still have the perky breasts of a 19 year old (I'm 35). Maybe this is genetics, I was a youngish mom (young bodies are resilient), my breasts never changed that much in size, I don't have large breasts, I did not gain much weight at all (but had very healthy sized babies), I also didn't get stretch marks or loose skin so my skin must just be resilient. I also ate well for skin health and took good care of myself and stayed fit.

if you are planning on a family wait till your done, breastfeeding and subsequent weight loss has left me with fried eggs, will def be getting a lift when happy with my weight. Had my kids older though so maybe that makes it worse?

My upper chest is filling out with weight training but saggy boobs will stay saggy. Getting pec muscles will make you look like you have cleavage without wearing a bra.

As long as my bobbies work I tend to think no to getting opperated on. I'd love them to be back "up" there but not sure it's worth the risks.

I think this is true. We women are much harder on ourselves than men are. Even if you think your breasts aren't perfect, most guys will still love them.

Start lifting....your breasts won't get any bigger, but you'll build the muscle tissue up underneath....making the ladies look perkier.....and perkiness beats big, droopy, saggy ones any day of the week!

HA! Lifting will NOT fix sagging boobies. It will not tighten your skin, it will do nothing but build some muscle underneath. Since women don't bulk up like men do, you will not be able to reverse a DDD to D boob loss by lifting weights. Saggy boobies will still be saggy.

I'm getting all my skin nipped, tucked and lifted once I reach and maintain my goal for a year past having my last child (which we think we're done having). My doc says that will probably result in an additional 10-15lb loss and much better fitting clothes.

Incorrect.. I went from a 42 DD to a 34 C - I had lost 95lb, I took up whitewater kayaking which gave me immensely strong pecs My boobs were perky. Work on your pecs and there's no need for evasive surgery. Kayaking was my way, I'm sure lifting would be similar in building the muscle needed to fix the sag.

I agree with this. I've lost almost 65lbs and lifted through my journey and through the journey while lifting i feel mine are perkier now. My arms also look less lunch lady and my shoulders have more definition which makes the whole top half look even nicer! And even if lifting didn't help with this issue it wouldn't mean you wasted time lifting. You would still be getting fitter and healthier!!! <3lifting =D

Less lunch lady! LOL :laugh:

I have seen positive effects on my chest with lifting too... I think. I lost about 30 pounds before I started lifting and I was NOT liking what was happening to the chesticles. I started lifting about 2 months ago and they seem less deflated in the last couple of weeks. Maybe my skin is just catching up with the loss. :shrug: I also drink tons of water and eat lots of protein and moisturize like crazy, so it could be many factors. I am certainly not genetically blessed in the skin or boob departments. :sad:

O.k. everyone seems to look at this from the saggy vs. perky side. Question - do you have sensitive breasts that give you lots of pleasure when you fool around? If so, getting breast surgery whether a lift and especially implants may make that aspect of your life non existent.

This is the reason I wouldn't have surgery. I have nothing against it. I am just as brainwashed as the next person who thinks big and round is best, but hearing about potential loss of sensitivity makes this a no-brainer for me. Not a risk I am willing to take.

ninja8tofu

Same here. I have gone down in size from a D to a B. However, weight lifting has helped immensely. I have 4 kids and breastfed 2 of them. I was worried what would happen, but they are looking pretty good.

Not everyone develops the perky little ski-slope breasts that you see in magazines & some of your girlfriends.

Those are the kind of breasts I have. And even then it's not every guys cup of tea. But, many guys love them, and my husband is crazy over them. I enjoy them as well. The best thing is how they have held up.

Go ahead if you are so bothered with the way what your boobs look like. I' going for a breast implant surgery and a liposuction. Had a pre-op surgery with Dr.Ronald Levine his clinic in Toronto. He is my surgeon.

Hi there I've have the same problem my boobs have lost content and grown massively in length. I could tuck them into my underwear at one stage!! I kid you not. Admittedly they have shortened slightly but they are very unpleasing on the eye. So I'm having a breast lift without implants. I've very pale see through skin that wouldn't support implants. And I can't wait but I'm having a TT first as my abdomen is causing physical difficulties with the flapping.
However I'm 37. I'm done having kids. I'd wait until after if your planning a family. I know weight gain finished my boobs off but pregnancy had already done it's job on them.
As for celebrities I bet loads have work they just don't admit it. Skin tone colour also make slot of difference. Good luck ❤️????????

I'm just glad I'm not the only one with any concerns about this sort of thing. I've been VERY self-conscious about my breasts since they first started coming in. I'm the only one of my friends without cleavage and my breasts have always been kinda small, which is not ideal with a round tummy, and one has always been at least half a cup-size bigger than the other. I do the best I can to find bras that fit, though it's nearly impossible to find my band-width in anything less than a D, and when I wear clothes you can hardly see the difference in size. But when I lose weight, the one always wants to disappear faster than the other one and that is very discouraging to me... I haven't been thinking about that so much as I've been trying to lose weight this time, my boyfriend has been so supportive that I've not even thought about it. But he mentioned tonight that they would get smaller as I lose weight and that brought back all my insecurities at once. I nearly cried. I did cry when he was gone, after we talked about it for a while. He assures me that he doesn't care how lop-sided they are or how small they get, and I can tell he means it. It's just something I've held onto for so long... He told me that if it really bothered me so much then he would help me save up for implants, but that he really only cares whether I'm healthy and happy. He even helped me do a little research on different types of implants and wouldn't leave me for the night until he was sure that I was okay, even though he has to get up at 3am for work. I love him so much. He really does make things like this so much easier. I just wish I could get over all my little insecurities. I know it may seem stupid and shallow to cry over something like boob-loss, but I just can't help it.....

Bump. May need this info in the future.

I've had a reduction....happy to talk to anyone who has questions. It's pretty much the same surgery as a lift (same incisions). Mine was about 7 years ago....best thing I ever did! I don't even know what I was before but after surgery I was a big C, small D. The weight is totally different after surgery (SO much better/perkier...even for still being kind big). I would do it all over again for sure! I have gained weight since then (20 lbs)....and they have gotten bigger :-( so here I am, trying to lose the weight and hoping they keep some kind of shape/perkiness! But if you are considering that type of surgery (reduction/lift) do your research and get a great Dr......it's totally worth it!

A lift may affect your ability to breastfeed.

MsLaTisha83

I already know my boobs are going to shrink. Before I gained 40+ lbs, they were pretty small. The only good thing that has come with my weight gain is my breast size and even now they are still barely a C-Cup. I'm not looking forward to them going away. :-( I would consider breast augmentation if I could afford it which is a big "if"
