Breast Question For Those Who Have Had A Breast Lift Or Reduction Prior To Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Did your breasts maintain the shape you had after weight loss? I've been looking into a reduction with a lift, and I dont want to wait until goal (in about a year to year in a half.) I want to start the process maybe a few months after surgery after about 60 to 80 lbs.

I want to hear from women that has had lifts/reductions in the recent past, that started their sleeve journey between 250-300 lbs and has lost 80 to 150 pounds. I want to know if you had major sagginess, etc. Do you see yourself needed another lift or are your boobs still in shape?

I was reading about breast reduction and the two types of breast tissue, the fattier tissue, which weighs less than the more dense tissue. As I would imagine the fattier breasts would become smaller during the weight loss process than a woman with more dense tissue. But thats just my own theory.

My surgeon said wait a year (plastic surgeon). I have been reading online that waiting up to 2 years is the go. Instant gratification is great (I'm in desperate need of a reduction and lift) but getting the life long result is what I am waiting for!

My all time high was 308, today I am 165. I was a 48 DDD (very tight) now I am a 40 DD and EVERYTHING has dropped. (my breasts, stomach, face, etc etc ). I definitely would not get any plastic surgery until you are done losing weight and you see what you have left. I just started getting ps consults and I was told with a breast lift, redundant skin is removed, so I will be smaller. I said I don't want to be too much smaller because I don't want implants- two dr so far told me, not to worry-they will only remove skin, so I should have plenty left. But if you get a reduction half way through the journey, you may find at the end you may want implants! (There was someone on another site who had this happen to her).

      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.
