Question:
For those who've had Breast Implants after WLS.....

For those of you who've had breast implants after wls,...could you tell me how you came to the decision to do this. I've lost 170lbs, and I'm now an A cup, and kinda saggy. I know I'll need a breast lift, but really, there isn't anything to lift. So I'm contemplating getting implants just to make me a little bit fuller. Nothing dramatic. But the risks of hardening, and deflation are feaking me out. What made up your mind? Thanks.    — Jennifer M. (posted on February 12, 2003)

Jennifer- I haven't had any proceedures done after WLS (so far)... I will look into a TT after I am done with having kids- if my insurance will cover it. However- I just looked at your site and see that you are fairly young (good for elasticity) and are only 1 year post op. Your body will do some tightening and moving of fatty deposits on it's own.. and perhaps before you look into increasing your breast size, you should wait for it to stabilize and see what they look like!? Just a thought. Lots of my saggy stuff bounced back- and I am old. Boobs are just fat. We usually lose from there first, but that's not to say that it's gone for good, you may get some of your size back. If I were an A, I would be hitting Fredericks or Victorias for all the wonderful (and lifting) beautiful bras and lingerie they have and make the most of the situation- but then I cannot stand big boobs because I cannot wear any of that stuff comfortably! So I guess I have A cup envy :)

Breast implants are not for everyone; however, I was as they say a "36 long." I decided to have a lift and implants. I researched the situation for quite a bit, and I found out my surgeon's wife had the same type of implants that he was going to use in me, so I felt fairly confident based on this. My breasts look great. I wanted to be more proportioned, as I am pear shaped. I am now a 36 D, and this has evened me out. I now have a nice hour glass shape. You have to make the final decision, but I know they make me feel great!

I had a donut lift and implants. I love the look. I was a rolled up and still just a b cup. I have never had tiny breast, but with the weight loss I had no volume. I am now a D cup again and I love it! They look "right" on me.

I had my arms done (brachioplasty(, breast augmentation (implants) and a lift and couldn't be happier. I went from a full C cup to a very deflated B and was not at all happy with how my breasts looked as I lost the weight. I decided to have C implants and now have beautiful D's and the lift got me from a 'low-beamer' as my daughter says to a 'high-beamer'. My breasts are lovely now. Full, firm, shalpey and very natural. I've lost 122 pounds and am 10# from my goal. I'm currently wearing a size 12 from a skin tight 26 1/2. I'm also having a lower body lift on March 3rd and will be a size 10 afterwatd. Body image is very important after a major weightloss. If you want it, then I say, save up and go for it.
