 I haven't had my surgery yet. I'm still in the process of getting it approved by insurance. But I have been reading a lot about the "tube sock boobs" and it's kind of freaking me out lol. I realize that there will be excess skin, and I assumed my boobs would "deflate" a bit, but I never pictured them looking like tube socks. What exactly is this? I definitely want another child, and breastfeeding is very important to me. So how would that even work? Lol.

Lol! Your boobs will likely deflate, mine have a little and when they get really deflated people say they look like tube socks! That would probably be in realllly extreme cases. Boobs are also one of the easiest things to fix plastic wise. :P

 Lol. I thought everyone was just doomed! I can definitely deal with some sagging and whatever. I don't care too much after breastfeeding and pregnancy, and wanting to get pregnant again, and breastfeed another child. But from what I was pictuing in my head I was pretty concerned! It sounds like they mostly just sag, and aren't as full or whatever. Which I could tolerate I imagine.

 I don't have tube socks yet... but I fear I'm doomed for them!! It's funny previously when I lost any weight my boobs never shrunk.. Now.. so far I've gone from a 46D to 44C.. I'm going this weekend to get refitted bc the 44c's aren't fitting very well any more!!! 

When originally talking to my mom about plastics and what not when I've been at maintanece for awhile I said I wanted to have the vericose veins in my legs fixed... I thought about it and decided my boobs are MUCH more important to me!! Not that I want D's again.. but I would like some not soo saggy ones!! lol I'm not a shorts wearer anyways.. I can always cover the veins.. saggy boobs.. little harder to deal with!

 i was a tight 44DDD  day of surgery, today i'm down almost 80 pounds and still at a 38DDD. i have a feeling my huge boobs are here to stay no matter how much I lose. They are a little deflated looking and wrinkly but not bad.

It depends on the size of your breasts and other factors.  I was a 34HH at surgery (07/02/2010) and am a 30F or 32DD/DDD now, depending on the brand.  They are still big, but they are saggy; I'm not gonna lie!

Hey guys. I know the feeling of fear in that department for sure. I don't know if this will help, but, it's been working for me so far, its called Lovely Jubblies. And, as the name implies, it's breast cream. This is an all natural cream from LUSH and it's absolutely wonderful. It has natural ingredients that help firm up your skin. I put in on every night before bed, and not just on my boobs...on any place I have stretch marks.

There is also Fat Girl Slim....but, I prefer all natural products, so, I don't know much about FGS. But its supposed to tighten skin as well.
