...as the body tries to compensate for out of whack body symmetry - I've been told that it was inevitable to gain weight in trunk and legs when one goes with huge implants- like 1000 cc's on a 5'3" 120 lb woman. True or not? I am considering a breast reduction, lift and much smaller implants - PS suggests lipo as diet and exercise have not worked for me to lose the 15 lbs I've gained since EXTRA LARGE implants were placed 2 years ago. Please Advise. Thanks
The weight you should gain from implants would be the weight of the implant + volume of the implant. Let's say an implant is 300 cc's that is about a 1/2 pound. So with two implants you would gain about a pound. If you have gained weight because of inactivity, that can improve with increased activity and diet.
The only weight gain would be that of the implants. However, if you do have very large implants, it may inhibit your exercise which would indirectly lead to weight gain as well.
Hi!
We have seen a lot of women lose weight because of the changed body image caused by breast reduction. So it is possible that the opposite happened to you, and you gained weight along with a huge increase in breast size. This would be a psychological effect. Breast implants themselves don't cause you to gain weight.
It sounds like you need a good breast lift with much smaller implants (400 cc's?). I would not do liposuction unless you have particular bulges. Liposuction is not for weight loss.
