Saggy boobs?

Hi y'all.  I'm not 40 but almost at 38 and about 6 weeks post opt.  Well, I noticed and have expected my milk sacs to deflate but they are looking yucky to me.  I have only lost about 30 lbs and they already look like this.  I am single and worried that if I get a man and he sees them he will be totally turned off.  I know it seems shallow and he probably ain't worth my time if he thinks i'm gross but I'm still young and I wanna look sexy and all.  Anybody else having issues with body image?  I really did not want to get implants but I have been thinking about it lately for the future.  I also have no kids and maybe would like a couple later and not sure if implant mess things up there.

I'm a WLS spouse, 37 with 4 kids.  I've read that implants can make it harder (possible for some, but not for others) to breastfeed, so I would check on that.  I'm currently breastfeeding baby #4 and I my breasts look good now, but will be all deflated as soon as I stop.  That is the way breasts are.  If you do have a baby after implants, the might droop again, although for me it wasn't bad after just one baby.
A good bra makes all the difference.  And a man who loves you with your clothes on, will love you no matter what.

Hi I'm 41 yrs. married with 2 kids I had my boobs lifted 6 yrs ago for me (my DH didn't care). Well now I'm getting ready for WLS this month and have to lose 125 lbs. I'm sure my boobs will fall or go down but guess what I will be going back in to get them lifted if they fall again. I know a guy should like or love you know matter what but I did and will do again just for me. It bothers me and noone else. So what I'm sayin is if it bothers you then do it but don't do it if you think it would bother a guy IMO.

Also my sister in law got in plants and then had a baby and was able to nurse no problem.

I have gone from a 48DDD/E to a 36D. All I have is empty skin for breast and it is awful for ME. Which makes me real self concious when it come to intimacy...well it doesn't come to intimacy...but if it did. My breast are a part of my entire sex appeal...as far as I was concerned. Now I dont have them and I want them back....along with my butt. I can actually roll my breast up in my bra. Not a pretty sight.

I have my PS consultation March 4th...cant wait

Congratulations on your weight loss and good luck on your journey

Hi, I am glad that iam not the only who is disgusteed with there breast. I went from 42 D to a 34 B and  like you said it is empty skin and I am like you I have to roll my breast in my bra. I am so happy that i lost the weight but without clothes on my body is disgusting. I cqnt stand to look in the mirror.

my boobs have always been large, even when I was not. and they have always sagged. I am married with 4 kids. Even before marriage & kids, the men I was with did not seem to mind. I have been wanting a boob lift for ME, not anyone but ME. Someday I might get one . Do what you feel comfortable with. I would not let any man tell me that my body is not ok, if he did he could go take a flying leap! Except or change your body for YOU.

Be happy with yourself

Yup.  Count me in.  Always had at least 38DD or more and never lost my breasts with any weight loss before RNY.  Today, I too have 'roll ups' and am wearing as little as 32 B and I'm missing a butt as well.   Some things I would actually like to have back!!

I'M HAVING TO ROLL UP THE GIRLS MYSELF. WENT FROM A 48 J TO A 42 DD IT'S ALOT OF SKIN THERE. IT'S HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THEM . ME I LOVE TO LOOK AT MIND AN MY NEW GUY DOSE ALSO . AWAYS LOVE YOURSELF.

age and genetics do make a difference.  when we are young, our breasts contain a lot of tissue called lymph.  as we age, the lymph tissue is replaced by fat.  the older you are, the more likely you will lose size and shape in your breasts when you lose weight (by any means, not just WLS). 

the difference between my breasts at 38 and my breasts at 44 (both preop) was quite significant.  i had very little droppage at 38 and now my breasts look, well, older.  they flop, even before surgery.  i've lost some ballast for sure, but so far nothing like tube socks.

anyway... my husband is older than i am.  we met when i was 38.  i'm sure he'd love me to have 20 year old boobs, but you know what, he loves me (and desires me) anyway.  in fact, we have more sex now than we've had anytime but when we first met.  

the bottom line to me is - you are 38.  not to scare you (because i love getting older in many ways) but you are facing a lot of physical changes in the next 10 years, due to aging, none of which will add to your sex appeal.  If a guy gets involved with you now, who would be turned off by saggin boobs, guess what - you'll be facing the same issue in a few years, if you stay involved.  BE your best.  love yourself as you are.  get'm worked on later if you want to and can afford it, but know that there really is more to sexiness than having a certain kind of body.  it's attitude.  Know or work on learning this now, and you will be much happier in middle age.  Just my .02. 

All my hubbie asks of me - has ever asked of me - is that i make the most of what i have, and be proud.  I'm not saying i never feel insecure about my body in the bedroom - i always feel that way!  I'm just saying HE doesn't, and it hasn't stopped him from dating me, loving me, marrying me fat (even though he hated fat), loving me with gray hair, loving me heart, sould, and body even with sagging, aging boobs.   Not saying he doesn't want and expect me to work on myself, but he really does love me for me.  That's a man worth dating IMO.  It's a hard lesson to learn but you really shouldn't waste your time or yourself on a man who would accept or not accept you based solely on your boobs.  and my husband, by the way, is a total boob man.  i have to say i think it's his favorite part of my anatomy.

For the record... some unsolicited advice... don't date guys under forty.  They still largely have their heads up their ass.  Even the forties are kind of dicey.  Remember they are neurologically socially retarded and need a few years on us females (like, ten?) just to break even.

for any guy reading this thread... sorry!
