breast reduction and weight loss

sancie · 07-11-2008, 07:54 PM

How much weight do you lose in your breasts? Should I wait to have the breast reduction until I lose more weight ?

Hi!

It depends on how dense your breast tissue is; some people actually lose very little in size when they reduce their weight. Others with "fattier" breasts actually lose alot. With my reduction I went from a 38DD to a 38B without losing weight. After a 40lb. weight loss I'm now a 36C...basically the same size.

. I just look "different".

Well, I was a C cup, now I am not sure if I fill out an A. I f I had the cash I would get fake ones, I am flat as a 10 year old boy. So, hold off till the weight is off.

I was a D cup but am now a C. I still have a long way to go on my weight loss but I hope not to lose anymore in my breast.

before weight loss=48DDD long heavy pendulous watermelons
after wt loss=36D long flat empty hanging pancakes

then had breast lift (no reduction no implants) and now beautiful perky 34C minigrapefruits and LOVE them.

Similar story here too. Most often, breast fat really goes away and you're left with sagging.

I would wait, but in the meantime you could probably get a consult with a plastic surgeon.

The other benefit of waiting until you're at your personal smaller size, is that if you do need a lift or implants, the doctor would be better able to match the size of them to your new size. Most people want a nice proportional look, at least I did. People do not know that I even had anything done.

Thank you all for your great advice. I think I'll wait until I lose more.

Started at 360 pounds with 46DDD. Down to 240 pounds with 38DDD. Will be having a reduction/lift early next year.
