How Will Gaining 10 Lbs Affect my Breast Implant Size?

Over the past year I have lost 10 lbs and down to an A cup (previously a B cup at 5'7 and 120 lbs). Since then I have had my BA with amazing results so far and at a 32 DD (silicone, under the muscle). I am trying to gain that 10 lbs back currently and wondering how that might affect my breast size, if at all?

Gaining weight after a breast augmentation

With a weight gain, I would expect a modest enlargement of your breasts to a similar degree corresponding to the amount of breast tissue “shrinking” you saw with your weight loss. Because the difference between an A and a B cup is smaller than the difference between a D cup and a DD and a DDD, I wouldn’t imagine that you will have a problematic change with weight fluctuations.

I recommend that you maintain the weight you’re at. Gaining weight would be bad for your health with or without implants. Jaime Perez, MD Breast Augmentation... more

Weight fluctuation and breast surgery

Some women can gain and lose weight and see no change in their breast size. For others, the body and breast weight seem to be directly linked. Your recent history is probably a good barometer of what might happen if you are to gain the extra 10 lbs. Most patients don't see significant changes with only a 10 lb weight fluctuation.

I think you answered your own question already. You stated that you dropped a cup when you lost 10 lbs. It sounds like you may gain a cup or less with a 10 lb gain.
