anyone have implants BEFORE getting sleeve?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I have breast implants but got them very young. Now that I've gained all the extra weight they're larger and of course saggier. I am very curious to see what happens after I lose the weight. Will they be the way they were before? Will they shrink a little but still be a bit saggy? Anyone who has lost the weight and who had implants before surgery please let me know!

I have lost almost 60 pounds and they have shrunk some but haven't sagged much. I am hoping they will be about the same as before I gained all the extra weight. If not, I will get a revision. Good luck to you!!

I must say I am in the same boat as you, oh the things I did when I was Young and Hot. :o Unfortunately I am a recovery room Nurse and I have recovered a lot of plastic cases involving weight loss and post baby body makeovers. It is Very Very Very common that the breast will continue south with the weight loss. I plan on having a breast lift (mastopexy) with implant exchange once my weight has stabilized. You never know you could be one of the lucky ones that it's not too bad. All the best to you. :)

I've had my implants for 17 years and have lost approx. 80lbs with my VSG. They are not real bad but bad enough that I will be having a lift and new implants soon. If my implants weren't so old I would not have a lift as I don't think they look bad but since they are old...why not get the lift done now while I can still enjoy them?! ;)

Its really going to be different for everyone. You'll just have to wait and see how yours end up.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
