Implants or breast reduction?



Recommended Posts

I have gone from a c cup to a pre teen sports bra and have so much sag that when I bend over my boob skin hangs about 7inches down. I have no breast tissue as when I'm lying on my back, all I can feel is ribs.

I know that the scars from a reduction are much worse that those from implants, but I'm not really comfortable with having fake boobs.

Also, I breast fed my daughter until she was 1 year old. If I had a reduction, would I still be able to do that with subsequent children? Or would I be able to do that with the implants?

I'm fine with being flat chested, I just really HATE the saggy deflated balloons hanging off me. Any help would be appreciated.

I would like for them to not sag so much, or actually, even at all.

I don't think you would benefit from just implants since there is so much skin. I had a reduction in 1996. The scars never bothered me. But if breast feeding is a concern, there is no guarantee you will be able to again as some of the mammary glands are removed. But I don't think a reduction is what you need it's a lift and implants. I am no medical professional but I think with those two you would still be able to breast feed as they are only removing excess skin. The scars are exactly the same as a reduction but no tissue is removed, just skin.

Have you considered a lift instead? This may be the route I go in a couple years. I'm not quite to goal yet, and I'm looking to have kids... so, before I do any rearranging of saggy bits, I want to be done with the kiddo thing.

Gonna follow this thread for sure, since I'm in research mode myself.

I'll have to look into a lift. I think I would need a lift and implants at if they were to remove all the excess skin alone, there would be nothing at all left.

Talked with an obgyn and lactation specialist, you can get implants BUT you should wait at least 4 years before breastfeeding again. To leery things settle and your body adjust. So I will have amazing fake boobs when I become pregnant but still breastfeed exclusively.

Thanks heaps. Do you mind me asking how much? I'm in Australia so will get prices over here, but still interesting to know what everybody else will pay. Implants alone cost about $12,000 here or $4,000 in Thailand, plus airfares.

I had a Breast reduction in 2004. You can't even barely see my scars. As far as breast feeding I truly don't know that answer. A reduction isn't what you need by the info in your post though. It sounds as if you need a lift. You look amazing in your photo! Congrats.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
