Weight loss & breast loss?
Replies
-
I'm happy I'm not the only one with this issue. I have lost about 70 lbs from my highest weight, and my breasts have gone from a 40DD to barely filling a 36D It's not so much the loss of size that bothers me as the loss of volume, if that makes any sense. Like I feel like my boobs are droopy and flat at the top now.
While I feel better about my body overall, I do feel like I'm missing something now that my chest has deflated. I've toyed casually about the thought of a lift or implants, but for now, push up bras it is.0 -
Losing some breast size is a part of weight loss unfortunately.0

would rather have the muscle I earned, than fatty, ill-gotten boobs.0

Yup, changes everywhere. I haven't measured lately but my F bra is definitely too big now. I like feeling my own rib cage and rubbing my back (I can reach around and touch my back!) and feeling the muscle forming there...under all the excess skin.0

My wife is B cup now at a healthy weight but understands fat loss = boob loss and has "droop" concerns. She barely mentioned implants to me and I did everything I can not to show how excited I was...but let her know I'm on board (sorry if this sounds weird). Not sure if this hurts or helps anyone...okay I'm out.

I started as 40H and have lost band size and cup pretty proportionally. 50 pounds down, I am now 36H (almost down to 34H).0

I have lost 128 lbs and went from a 44DD to a 36D and I love that I lost the weight of my boobs however I am not so happy at the saggy droopy ones that are left. If I ever hit the lottery, I am getting a boob job first off My back doesn't hurt hardly ever anymore so all in all I guess it is good, and my hubby says he loves me no matter what they look like0

The important thing for you (IMO) would be to continue being supportive of what she has regardless. I say this only because if my SO came out and said he'd be excited if I got my boobs done, the first thing that would come out of my mouth is 'and what's wrong with them now???'. Or if he agreed with me that they were too small, that'd just make me even more depressed about the situation. It's definitely a tricky balance!
Also to note, a lot of people are saying there's 'nothing you can do'. Well, implants are a thing. I honestly wish the negative perception and stigma would go away. Others have noted that the small breast issue has made them feel like less of a woman or less of the person they want to be, and that's what I'm going through. I don't feel as attractive, especially when I'm in front of the mirror naked. I can put on push-up bra after push-up bra but at the end of the day, when I'm changing, I'm left with something I'm not happy with. And if I have the power (and money) to change it, why not?0 -
I was barely an A cup prior to losing 35 pounds and still barely an A cup afterwards. No change that I noticed. ENVY ME!!!!!!!!!!!0

I lost 70 pounds and went from a C cup to an A cup. . My mom lost tons of weight and kept her boobs which I hate lol0

*sigh* I always used to be large breasted. Even when my BMI hovered around 18 when I was in my 20's I still wore a size 36D. Got pregnant, gained weight, breastfed a baby, lost weight, gained weight... It wasn't until these very last 10 lbs that my breasts decided to go--I went from a size 32F in August to a size 32C now. I'm a little sad, and they look pretty pathetic when not in a bra. I would consider implants at this point for more structure, but am terrified of the pain of recovery. Oh well, on the upside, running is easier, and it might make my golf swing a little less awkward.
LOL! Way to look on the bright side @mitch16

Sounds about right. Sadly.0 -
That was one of the first places that I lost weight - since I have started doing push-ups and more strength workouts with my arms I have noticed a change, not really in size but less droop
My doctor assures me that once I stop losing I will gain some fat back in the area.
Your experiences sounds just like mine. I hope your doctor is right (for me too). I'm happy being healthier and losing weight, I think it's the timing - if I lost it all over at the same speed maybe I wouldn't notice - but sometimes the scale is a couple pounds less and it seems like it's all from there! I'm gonna end up being a size A or tiny B by the time I'm through if this continues ^_^**0 -

Thanks so much for sharing - this is exactly my feeling.. Like surprised at myself that I felt less feminine. It was like a feeling of loss. Oh well, There are worse things in life, I guess.0 -

Right? I have never had that feeling before. I've always felt extremely feminine. Then I had these little tiny things hanging down that looked like they didn't belong. There are definitely worse things in life! And anyway, I may be a 32 B, but now I can wear a g-string.1 -
