Please tell me my saggy ugly boobs are going to be fixable!!!

BRANDYK · 02-02-2008, 09:14 AM

Hey everyone,

I guess I just didnt' realize just HOW SAGGY and gross my boobs were going to get. I've been a double D for so long and I was so excited to go to a C as I lost weight. I still have a ways to go on the weightloss, and I swear a couple weeks ago they just deflated and went flat. Now they are just a couple of flat sacks and my nipples point straight to the ground. I refuse to look at myself in the bathroom mirror now after I get out of the shower. I made myself look at them last night and just started bawling like a big baby. At least when I was fat they were big and full, now they look just awful, like rocks in socks. Anyone on here who has had a lift and implant please post or PM me and tell me about your experience. I know I'm going to have this done when I'm at goal, how do I cope until then, I still have at least six months and I'm getting really depressed over this. My boobs were always the one thing I loved about my body and now I hate them. Has anyone else gone thru this and has surgery and ended up loving them again?

Brandy, Brandy, Brandy....

I feel for you COMPLETELY! I am having PS in May (hopefully) and I want to know the same thing. However I just want to get my FF to a D... :)

I'm having a lift in March. Trying to decide if I will have the augementation also. Lifting is a big improvement over the down and out that they are now, but lifting doesn't add fullness to the top of the breast. Trying to decide if I will be happy with just that. You should go check out some other sites that talk about breast surgery. One good site is: www.makemeheal.com. If you google breast augmentation, I'm sure you'll find a lot of sites. Good luck! Oh, meanwhile, go to Victoria Secret or a really good department store and get fitted for some bras that will lift you up and have extra padding in the bottom to give you a fuller look!

I would love to go to Victoria's Secret, but they do not carry 34FF....man....

BRANDYK · 02-02-2008, 02:40 PM

Boo boo,
It's nice to know someone else feels my pain ;)
You'll be getting your done before I get mine done, please let me know how it goes. Good idea on the bra Kary, I think I will make a trip to the mall this weekend and get a few bras to uplift my spirits (among other things) lol

Boo Boo, I forgot to tell you, you are at my goal weight girlfriend!!! When I get to that weight I should be a size ten/twelve. :)

Boo Boo Kitty · 02-03-2008, 06:58 PM

I thought I would be 10/12. You may be surprised that you will be smaller than you think!!!Good luck!

VS, full coverage, shaper..... is a god send (it takes all my breast tissue and puts it out there) LOL.... ones with uplift have padding in the bottom and tend to push me out the top.

I'm going to have a lift also. I had DD's, which have remained DD's - went up to an E at one point as back size went down. Its only in the last few kgs that they've shrunk at all, now I'm a D on one side, DD on the other, lol!

I was told by one surgeon that to fill out the sad, stretchmarked skin on the tops of them I'd need implants. Well implants are not my scene, no way would I put them in my chest. But I was very disappointed becuase what I hate is not the sagginess, they look fine in a bra, but the fact that when they're supported, pushed together, there's all this disgusting, flabby, flaccid skin on the top, its all wobbly and horrid so that any push up type or balconnette type bra that creates cleavage with any low cut top is a no no for me, but I can flash an expanse of skin in a normal bra.

But since then two surgeons have told me that's rubbish, most likely the first was trying to con me out of money, grrrr. They reckon they'll look absolutely great lifted. I think I'll prolly do it at the end of the year.

aww honey *hug* I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with your image and this isn't meant to upset you but just to give you the truth of what could happen...

my girl friend's cousin (know her reasonably well myself) had bypass surgery approx 5 years ago and she was a very big chested girl. With her losing weight with gastric bypass her boobs ended up like "tube socks with tennis balls in them" i believe she described them and due to them being so big and stretched out for so long the doctor said that there really wasn't anything they could do becuz the tissue was just so stretched and damaged from time. She had a few plastic surgeons tell her that. Not just in reference to a reduction, but reduction, lift and even implants. So please just be aware that some people may have issues with that. Hopefully you aren't one of them.

Karey, are you doing the implants? At my age, I'm glad I didn't. I left it up to my ps. He said he could always go back and do them, but I think I'll pass, one less thing to worry with :)

kareyquilts · 02-10-2008, 04:12 PM

Nana: Are you "Harely" because you ride a harely or because of a grand son? Just curious. My youngest daughter's biological grandmother rides a harley and goes on cross country trips. I think its pretty cool. I think I have decided to get the implants, because I'm so empty on top. I don't just sag, I've lost a lot of volume and it's gotten worse with the last 10 pounds I've lost. I'm not entirely sure. I have a list of questions for my 2 week preop appointment which is coming up in another week. I was told that the lift, which I'm getting is the harder thing to recover from and that the augmentation isn't that big of a deal. I asked my internist about it and he agreed and said I shouldn't be overly concerned about safety. So, short answer, long. Yes, I think I will.

I actually had a breast reduction about 3 1/2 years ago (Pre Band). I had gotten down to 200lbs to have it done and went from a 38DDD to a small C cup. Of course 5 months later I found out I was pregnant again. Gained back all that weight plus some. Now after having the band and getting down nearly 70 lbs. I have noticed a big difference in my chest. With the weight loss I'm flat and deflated on the top (before I had "teenager boobies") and the skin is a bit wrinkled, but they are still nicely shaped on the bottom. I don't think I'd consider implants, but I have 30 more pounds to go so I may change my mind. I do plan on having a TT for sure. Besides my band ~ the breast reduction/augmentation was the best thing I ever did.
