Question for women that have had a breast reduction/lift before wls or a large amount of weight loss: Did your boobs still keep its lifted shape?

Had it over 25 years ago. Was a B cup after the surgery, and was at a normal healthy weight. As I gained weight, I ended up in a DD cup, so the mere weight and years caused mild drooping. However, as I lose weight, I can plainly see that I will end up with big flat pancake boobs, and intend to have it redone after reaching goal.

From your photo you appear to be much younger than I am, so you may fare better.

I had a reduction from a 36I (Yes, I) to a 36C when I was 18, so...15 years ago. I was overweight then, and only alittle more overweight now, but they are currently a 38F. I lost weight before, about halfway to my goal, and they shrank to a 36D and looked awesome. I'm kinda afraind that the recent growth though will mean that when they go down again, they will go dowwwwwnnnnn... and down... and down. I'm hoping that when they are flat and saggy there will be enough tissue to justify another reduction/lift, so I can just have my natural breast tissue made into some nice Bs or something. I'm so sick of huge boobs...

I was thinking it might be easier to get approval for a reduction at this size, as opposed to later, but my major concern is will it still look perky when I lose weight. My boobies are 44 G/H and was thinking about reducing them to a DD cup. I dunno, because Id like to still have breasts when at goal which is at least 125 lbs away. Im sure it would make better sense to fix them later.

I would wait. With a chest as large as you have, you will most likely end up with enough left over tissue to get insurance to cover a reduction / lift after the loss. That's what I'm hoping happens for me, if mine don't survive. Of course, I'd rather mine just make it. LOL I think that you'd still have alot of sag though, even if you get it now.

I would wait also my sister was reduced from a 42F to I think a 40D and she is over weight and her size what she went down to was baised on Insurance approvale they would only approve her if sh was taken down to a C and she is a FULL C I think the Dr worked with her so that if she lost weight she wouldn't be flat.

I had a reduction 15 yrs ago from a 36E to a full C cup. I was 170 at that time, since then I had another baby (and was able to breastfeed) and gained weight up to 226. I am back down to 201 right now and to be honest, my breasts have not changed much in the last 15 yrs. I am 44 now and they are still high and full,lol. I have no idea what will happen when I get down to my goal of 140. That will new territory for me!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
