All about BOOBS!



Recommended Posts

Hi all :D

I am now 3 weeks out and feeling pretty good. I am a tattooed / pierced girl and unfortunately, had to take out all my piercings before the day of surgery. The one I am particularly worried about putting back on are my nipple rings.

My boobs have already changed sizes. I don't fit in my old bra anymore so I am shrinking. My question is mainly for women who have been sleeved for a bit of time now.... I'm 19 and am not sure whether or not I'll need surgery to get a boob lift just in case they sag? So I'm unsure if I should wait until I hit my goal weight to re-pierce my nipples or just go ahead and continue on living my life.

Basically, I'm asking for your opinion on what I should do and how did YOUR boobs change after surgery? :) Thanks so much in advance!

Congrats on being 8 weeks out! Yeah, I have a feeling my boobs will keep shrinking. Hey, not only older people sag! I've seen some people in their 20's have saggy skin as well! Perhaps the sagginess will be inevitable lol my thighs have definitely become looser. I feel like that's gonna be a problem area for me.

@cuchas @linseeka I just answered a post on a similar topic just now and my advice to you, as was given to me from my breast specialist is to avoid the "sag" get and wear a good supportive bra.

If you are working out you need a good sports bra to support those babies. Depending on the workout you need one that is more supportive than not. Not supporting them makes them prone to having tears in the soft Fiber and muscle that breast tissue is made up of. If you are extra busty because of excess weight you are going to deflate a bit...but you won't sag. I lost weight in my upper clavicle area and can now see my collar bone but my breast size and shape has remained the same. My bra size went from a 42DD to a 38DD at my thinnest as a teenager I was a 36DD so you can see the size of the breast hasn't changed as much as my body circumference has.

As for the piercings...they sell the plastic retainers that you can place for surgery and for any tests like MRI or X-ray etc. If your piercings have closed and you think you might have a breast augmentation in the future I would hold off re-piercing until then. If not put them back in and Rock on with your bad self!

I didn't even think about buying a sports bra! I've just been free balling it lately :lol: Definitely will invest in one, thank you so much!!!! I think I'll wait maybe another 2 months before I get them re-pierced Thank you so much for the advice.

Well I am older than you (34) and I have two kids that I breast fed for a year a piece but I can tell you that my boobs have pretty much disappeared. I still wear a double d but my boobs are mostly skin and without a bra on they look like a tube sock with a moderate number of rocks in them. I talked to my Dr. and he told me that I would absolutely need to have a lift and I could either be an a-b cup or I could get implants with my lift and be whatever size I want.

@@angry sometimes it's all about our genes, and yes breast feeding can take a bit of toll on the girls. I'm 44 so I've got ya by about 10 years :) Trust me even after breast augmentation of any kind even with implants, bra's are the key to keeping those girls in place and healthy.

The same is true for the tummies ladies. After 3 kids and about 150 pounds over weight, even now my tum tum has that "hang" that I despise. Crunches and all that stuff help but what helps the most is support, when we go to the gym you see all those sporty people in their compression garments, and now I understand why they wear them! It's been too darn hot here in NY, but in the cooler months I wear the long sleeve compression garment when working out to help reduce some of the wing span. (you know what I mean)

I know that not everything is going to tone right back up, and yes I can see some plastics in the future but I'll do my part to get them as tight as I can. Those girls on here who are youngin's take our advice, because you have the advantage of your youth behind you.

Don't freeball!!! :) Get some support and use it especially when your working out it aids in the toning and tightening of those area's. It's not a miracle...but it does help, even at 44 I can see the difference, also people in the gym like it that my bingo wings don't flip out and hit them :)

I asked my surgeon about mine, I have both pierced and I didn't even have to remove them for the procedure...

he told me they wont cause any issues..

I have noticed a change in my boobs (2 weeks out but had a long pre-op diet) and I have not had any change regarding the actual piercings

Ya, don't re pierce until you are at goal. I've lost almost 100 pound and have gone from a 48/50 DD to a 40 D and am not done shrinking yet. You are going to shrink!

I lost about 90 pounds 10 years ago and practically ran to the plastic surgeon to have a breast reduction and lift. It was the BEST thing I ever did for myself (besides lose the weight). They looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL until I gained all of my weight back and more (they still look okay!). When I lose the weight again, I'd definitely consider having them re-lifted! :)

      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.
