Breast Reduction and Lift Before Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Question, did anyone have a breast reduction and lift "Before" getting the sleeve? If so, how was your outcome? I know that a woman may drop down bra sizes after loosing the weight, but with this being done prior, did you even have anything after the fact? I am worryed that I won't have "NOTHING" after I drop the weight!!! lol

I had a reduction about 15 years ago--the only thing I can tell right now is that they are not as perky as before--a little saggy--but overall--I haven't lost anything in them yet--still waiting--I am hoping to be completely flat chested when this is all over with

As far as having a breat reduction DON'T do it til after the surgery. After you lose your weight, you'll be saggy, and the dr. will fix them by reduction, then "perK" them up. Do AFTER you lose weight.

I had a double mastectomy 15 year ago w/my cancer. So I don't have to worry about breast reduction or wearing a bra woohoo!! You got to look at the good coming out of the bad.this is a test

Most WLS women will lose some breast fullness and size with major and rapid weight loss. I did and there are many many others here who have too! Chances are very good you may, though of course everyone's different. It is my opinion only but I suggest waiting until you have reached goal until getting your breast reduction or reconstruction. It would be best to know the outcome after than before so you won't be left with undesirable results.

I hope everything works out for you!!

I can tell you as a person who didn't have breast surgery before the sleeve, that I am definatly considering it much more than I was before now that I've lost weight. First thing to go were my boobs and I didn't have much to begin with... and I'm not even 3 months out yet. It is so noticable that some girls at work have mentioned it.

I have always been big in the boob department even in my younger years before I gained weight. At my heaviest weight no one looked at my face, they always looked at my chest. I am 4 months out and have lost quite a bit of my boobie fat!. I am happy about it, but at my age do have some sagging. I will wait until I reach goal and would like to get them lifted to look better. I cannot find a bra that does what I need it to. I don't want a reduction, just put the "girls" back where they should be. Funny thing, as I slim down my chest looks bigger since I am getting my waist back. At least people look at my face now. My husband was always happy with me even with all my weight, but now says I have a great figure. I am not even a goal yet and feel happy about my body now.

Dude! Wait until you lose your weight! My boobs went from 44 E to now a 36 C and it's only a C because of the skin.

I get the impression the original poster has already had a breast reduction and is wondering if she will lose the small breasts she now has. Hopefully she comes back to clarify.

I got tired of waiting 20 plus years to be thin and got a breast reduction 6 years ago. Best decision I ever made. I think I will end up with saggy, SMALL deflated breasts and I am ok with that! :biggrin2: I can't imagine walking the halls after VSG with huge breasts that used to reach my waist! :nono:

I hope someone tells us HOW small they will get. LOL

I had a reduction 2 years ago. I didn't even know about the sleeve at that time. I would have waited had I known what was in my near future. I was a 42 LL before the reduction and was a 40 C before the sleeve. I am now in a 38 and somewhere between a B and a C cup and the ladies are shrinking before my eyes. I never thought I would miss my larger breasts (I don't miss my gargantuan breasts) but sometimes I look at myself and wonder what did I do. Don't get me wrong, I love that they reach high instead of slopping to the floor now but a lot of my femininity was from those girls and it's hard to know how to feel with them getting so much smaller. I, unfortunately, lost all feeling in my nipples so that is my biggest regret. I do, however, love being able to buy "regular" size bras and my tops are never too tight in the bust. I would wait if you haven't had the reduction and if you have had it then buy some great push up, padded bras.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
