how much cup size did you lose after a breast lift (not a reduction)?



Recommended Posts

How long after implants were you able to wear good bras?





What do you mean by good?

What cup size are 475cc?





Cup size is relative to band size so it depends. Plus you have to add whatever tissue you have left to that volume so it’s different for everyone.

I had some of my own tissue left, but I don’t know how many cc’s I had. My band size is 32. 350cc put me at 32DDD

Wondering this too! I'm getting a body lift first, but want a breast/arm lift after! I'm a 34DD now. I'd like to stay in the C/D range and dont' really want implants.

Yup cuz you roll it up and put it in the cups! I used to say I was a 32 "long" it was mostly tube socks rolled up and filling out my bra.

I feel like I’m following you with this. I’d like to be the same size as “now” (though “now” may still be in flux) but not saggy droopy bags of skin, but 32dd actual, up on the chest, boobs. My cleavage now is wrinkled like a prune. I think my first surgery will be the boobs and I am looking for SoCal surgeons who do the implants at the same time as the lift.

Right this second i am wearing 34DD and thrilled to get out of the ddd size so I can buy bras in a regular store. However, I measure under the boobs 31 inches, so I know I will end up at size 32, which is what I was years ago before the fat. I will always have the natural big booty, so even at goal weight (where I almost am) I can carry off the DD cup size.

I had a breast lift in 2012 (I worked for the plastic surgeon at the time) - I went from a DD to a D cup just from the lift procedure alone.

so 10 weeks post op and I'm still wearing the same bras I did before my lift, they just fit better. However, I am going to need a revision of the lift, so with a second lift I would imagine that it is probable I will lose another size.

Dr. J. Timothy Katzen in Beverly Hills is a great plastic surgeon whose practice is focused on WLS patients. He does excellent work and definitely would do lift and implants together.

I was told u just loose skin so u should lose cup size as long as u have Breast tissue. They separate the two tissues push your breast tissue up they never remove any of your breast tissue. Then they remove the skin. So it is all based on how much breast tissue u have

How long after weight loss should you wait before a breast lift? My WLS surgeon advises to wait a year in case the skin elasticity improves. I hate my breasts. I want to cry every time I look at them.

Most surgeons say 6-12 months once you reach goal. Basically they want your weight to stabilize and stay the same for 6-12 months. I had my surgery at almost exactly 6 months after hitting goal, which was 18 months after sleeve surgery.

      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.
