Breasts after surgery?
Im 7 months out and 95lbs down and I have about 20 lbs to go. I'm 36 and am happy to report that I don't see plastic surgery in my furture, at least not in the next 5 years. I'm not perfect by any means, but I'm pretty happy with what I see in the mirror. And I'm actually beginning to see the skin in my arms tighten up, but maybe that's just the muscles filling in the space, because I do weight train. Started in a 42DD,and just bought a new bra in a 38D. In all honesty, at my largest I probably should have been wearing a larger bra, but oh well. I started noticing a big difference in them after I had lost about 50 lbs. The first place I lost weight was my ass, then my boobs started going. Did not really notice until I would put on an old bra, and not only did I have to hook it on the tightest hook, I had to tighted the shoulder straps. And even then, there was still room in the cups. So I finally bought a few new bras. And I hate wearing bras. So here is the good part:
This summer I bought a couple of the tank tops with the built in shelf, love it. Looks good, and its supportive. I bought a couple bandeau bras, to wear when I am just hanging out. And these are fine too, before I would have looked like a uniboob. And the other day walked into walmart, picked up a bra with 2 pairs of matching panties and did not have to pay and arm and a leg for them!
Exercise is so much easier with smaller boobs. Although I did need to upgrade to a smaller sports bra.
I have also noticed that the nipples are beginning to point forward instead of down, not sure what changes in the structure of a boob makes that happen, but it is happening. My husband was just commenting the other day how they look good, and even thinks it makes my nipples look bigger because the boob around them is smaller, which apparently he is a fan of.
Amazing.....I am not, but happy with the current trend of things. yep.

How your breasts look at the end is going to vary by individual. I lost 100 pounds and mine do sag but not really any more than I think they would have anyway. After all, I'm in my 50s and have two kids.
Mine definitely don't sag down to my waist! Also, I'm still a D cup which I'm actually not that thrilled about (I'd like to be a C cup at most).

My girls have never lost weight. I've lost 41 inches so far in two months. 1.5 inches were in my bust--and most of that was probably off my back. Even when I've lost large amounts of weight in the past, I haven't lost the boobs. I might go down in band size, but not cup size. Sometimes, I'd even go up in cup size and down in band size.
I had a breast reduction 8 years ago. With each pregnancy, the girls got larger and never "shrank" back to normal after breast feeding. Before the surgery, I could wear my bra cups as a hat. Isn't that a pretty picture? Walking around with two-head sized mounds attached to my chest? Needless to say, insurance covered it.
I went from a 38J (no, you can't buy those at a department store) to a 38D. My surgeon told me it was unlikely I could lose weight in my breasta and he was right. Not all breast tissue is just fat--mine is rather dense. So there is certainly a possibility that you will come through the WLS with your girls just fine.
I have an hourglass shape (which I like to refer to as a stripper body LOL) big boobs, small waist, big hips. After I lose my weight, I will definitely need a TT, probably more from pregnancy damage than obesity. My kids weren't that large at birth, but my body produced too much amniotic fluid so my uterus/stomach was really large during pregnancy. And still my boobs stuck out further than my stomach.
Bottom line: plastics are a wonderful option. You will never regret it.
