How much time should you wait after surgery to get a lift/augmentation? I'm 5 months out and down 45 pounds. My breasts are shrinking and it's driving me crazy.

Until you have finished what you need to lose. Usually maintaining for a little does not hurt, but once you reach goal, you can meet with a surgeon and discuss options.

The waiting until you finish losing is because we can't determine exactly where the weight will come from when we lose. Usually all over, but may be more from hips, butts, thighs, and the inevitable boobs.

Hope this helps. :)

Congratulations on the weight loss!

I was a 38F back in 06 until I had a reduction to a 38DD. My plastic surgeon told me that my breasts were fibrous and wouldn't get smaller if I lost weight. He was wrong. They used to be nice and full and now they're those ski slope kind where they just sort of go down and then tip back up. I hate them. My husband says its no big deal but it is to me. He said that as soon as I'm ready he'll buy me some new boobs. Good man! :)

I too want a boob job and am going to get one once I have reached my goal and maintained it for 3 months...I have always had smaller boobs and I was cool with them for the most part...Now as I lose weight they are hanging more than I can appreciate so I am going to go bigger and prop them babies back up where they were intended to be...

I went from 44dd to 40c in 7 months!! My training bras were 38c at age 12, lol!! Definitely a lift in my future.

Your skin will continue to shrink for up to 2 years. I'd recommend waiting till then.

Please just make sure to tell your plastic surgeon that you had weight loss surgery. You don't want to have it done and then find it was done too early and you need more surgery.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
