My surgeon has suggested that I get a boob lift and implants. I not sure if I should get the implants. What is everyone opinion on this?

How long after you reach goal do you have to wait to get your boobs done? I'm currently a 42i and cannot wait to have these puppies done. Some plastic surgeons did a presentation about post-WLS procedures at a support group and they said something about patients having to stabilize at goal for a while (a year? I can't recall what they said). It seemed like you first needed to prove that you wouldn't gain the weight back :(

PS's are all different.... but the most commend is to be stable for one year. I didn't have my boobs done only my Tummy. I was a 44H... now im a 34H.... my boobs stayed the same pretty much

If I reach goal and my breast are sightly saggy, I will be getting a lift.

I'm tossing around getting a second reduction after all is said and done. I had my first when I was 16 and I'm still a ddd...am hoping my boobs will magically shrink with my weightloss, but no such luck so far.

@Travelher I was a DDD/E and had surgery 8/30/16. Out of nowhere in the last two months, I went down to a D. It can still happen for you.

@_Kate_ You look fantastic!

Did you have a lift and implant or just a lift? They look GREAT!

Looks great! Did you get an augmentation, or just a lift? I have a feeling I'm going to want to get my boobs done too.

I was told that if you're happy with the size you are when wearing a bra (boobs all propped up) then you only need a lift (they rearrange your own tissue), if you think they are too small in a bra... then you need implants.

My time is NOW!

oh thank you for saying this! I seem to only ever hear of people doing lifts AND implants or lifts AND reductions. just a lift would be what I'd want for myself. gonna wait until I'm well into maintenance before I consider doing it though.

My wife is preparing to get a boobs surgery. She told, that doctor scanned her with a handheld 3d scanner to model the final result on PC before surgery. I was curious, so we found out that it was Artec Eva. Never heard about it before. Maybe someone had some experience with such kind of devices?

Breast lifts are usually self pay right? Anyone mind sharing what it cost them to have done?

      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.
