Breast augmentation redo?
I had a breast augmentation 4 years ago after the birth of my second child. Thanks to weight gain, breast feeding and weight loss. I went from a B cup to a D cup. However, because of the weight of the implants and aging, the breasts are no longer high and create a clevage; they hang to my waist and look sad:)
I am thinking about getting to a size C cup and making them perkier. They feel to heavy, and the bra straps dig into my shoulders despite fitting every three months. Any words of advice?

14 answers to “Breast augmentation redo?”A: Pregnancy can change a perfectly beautiful body
Pregnancy can stretch out the Cooper's ligaments and breast tissue that create the shape of the breast. The sagging skin is only a by-product of the above changes.

A: Sagging of the breasts after Breast Augmentation
Breast implants may exacerbate aging of the breasts when combined with pregnancy, weight gain, and loss of skin elasticity. In this case, it seems that the droopiness of the breasts can be improved with a breast lift procedure that will reposition the nipple and areola and remove excess skin.

A: Remove and replace with a lift
From the sound of things, I would suggest removing and replacing your current implants with smaller implants and also getting a lift (mastopexy) as well. This will help minimize the pain and discomfort from your heavy, saggy breasts. As a result of the pregnancies and the large current implants, your body... more
A: Breast changes after pregnancy
Breasts certainly do change after pregnancy, so just know that you're not alone. Depending on how much your actual breast tissue has enlarged, you may not need your implants at all. Or you may get by with smaller implants. Either way, it sounds like you'll need a lift. I'm guessing you might do well with... more
A: Downsize your implants and lift the breast tissue
I have not even seen your photos, and I can tell that you will need: 1) removal of your current implants; 2) replacement with smaller implants; and 3) Breast lifting, most likely a full lift, but depends on your degree of sagging.
A: You will need an exam by your Plastic Surgeon to decide on your options
The change in shape of your breasts is likely due to a combination of large implants and the weight gain and loss sustained in your breasts due to pregnancy. I agree that you will definitely need some type of breast lifting procedure to tighten the stretched breast skin. You may need to change out your... more

I had my breast aug done 2 years ago...I am currently wearing a D cup bra. I was a small B cup looking to be a C originally but was made too big! Now I'm having them redone due to a Capsular Contracture but I plan to get them smaller while I'm at it. Let me tell you I do NOT like BIG BOOBS. You can always go medium and wear a push up bra but you CAN NOT hide huge KNOCKERS. =( Oh and you will have a tough time finding clothes that fit big breasted women...you lose the athletic or cute look and end up with the husky look.
