Question about the tata's-lift/reshaping/reduction

[mi75 1,235]

I am wondering this question: I am big busted now (pre-op) and don't necessarily want to have implants done after my weight loss. I know I will require both ab work and some revision to the tata's...is possible for the plastic surgeon to just reduce and reshape??? I know many ladies lose their weight and then have implants, but I have never liked being a large-busted woman and I look forward to being a small cup size...

I was starting weight 225.5 and wore a 46 DD and am not a 36D. I orginally got Victoria Secrets demi bra but as I lost weight and they hung more, I didn't like how that style stuck out under light weight shirts. Went back to local place...Bras that Fit and got the same style I wore before but the correct style and am happy with them. But...I'm 67 and they would hang anyway I guess!! Mammogram I had yesterday didn't hurt as much!! LOL! By the way, it was benign!!

I'm from Mi too! I had Dr. Gluck in Muskegon, but live in Jackson.

You may not need surgery at all, many people don't. You can also get a lift without augmentation if you choose.

Some ladies get a lift and reduction or just a lift. My boobs nearly disappeared with weight loss but they were still in the right place..Haha..just no breast tissue...all skin. Much better now that Dr Sauceda fixed em!

I will be looking into this as well. I'm sick of big tatas. They are 34ddd now, so we'll see how it goes after 30 more lb.

I had a full Tummy Tuck, flank Lipo, and breast lift with reduction- NO IMPLANTS. I am a nice C cup and couldn't be happier- nothing like having the girls be the same size and facing the same way!

thanks to everyone for your kind replies and honesty! I have always been bigger busted and that is one of the things I am really looking forward to ! I have been in an underwire since about age 13 and really won't be sad to let those go! I am pretty sure that I WILL need bust work done simply because I really needed a lift even already when I was young and thin. your honest replies are very helpful!

I've been wondering the same thing! I've lost 94 pounds and my formerly DDD breasts are now just tube socks with rocks! I am looking forward to having a reduction and reshaping, but definitely would be happy with even a B cup! Seriously, tits just get in the way of everything! haha

My plastic surgeon and I agreed on a B cup- I feel like a B cup- especially compared to what I was, C cup bras just fit better. I'm a runner too and nothing gets in the way. So glad I chose not to get implants!

I started out a 44H and ended up a 34D before I had my lift. Before my lift I had been left with something resembling a tube sock with a ball in the bottom. With a lift I am a 34C.

I had enough breast tissue left to have proportionate and perkier breasts - but they don't have the amount of volume in the upper breast as implants. I do prefer that about implants -that your breasts can appear to be those of an 18 year old... However, given the lower cost and that I had enough breast tissue left to look somewhat proportional I ended up with the lift.

I retained normal sensation, it was a far easier recovery than my other plastics, and I would do it again.

I was a 42DDD and after loosing 130 lbs I am now a 34DD. They are NOT cute DD's!!!! Pretty much all skin. I had inquired about getting a reduction when I had my Tummy Tuck but he said I would still need an implant to make it a normal looking breast.weight loss does a big ole middle finger to our bodies (visually) but we end up living a healthier life style. I was not prepared for all the loose skin and never thought my books would look like my 80 year old grammas!!!! Haha actually I think hers are perkier!! I didn't want a boob job but I think I may have to reconsider.

My boobies played the same mean trick on me too. All skin! I got a lift even though my Doc said I would look better with implants. No regrets. Feels good to be perky. Go for it!

I had only skin left also. I was not a candidate for just a lift. I had lift and augmentation. I was not so thrilled with them the first 4 weeks. But now? I love my new ta-tas!

I had no boobs at 280 so of course I have nothing but wrinkled skin at 140-ish. I'm a push-up bra queen. Scared of implants

Why weren't you a candidate for just a lift, if you don't mind answering.
