How Much Weight Should You Lose After Breast Augmentation Before It Affects the Appearance
I am 5'3 and currently 142 pounds which is the heaviest I've ever been. Prior to augmentation I was 130 pounds. I would like to get to 125 I have fatty breast so I'm concerned about skin saggy etc. What would be the best way to reach my ideal weight without losing the appearance of my breast? I have 540cc's on one and 560cc on the other (Saline) 38DD. Thanks,

Weight loss after breast augmentation.
The effect of weight loss after breast augmentation is highly variable. Most of the time, weight loss does not affect the appearance of the breasts after having breast implants. Typically, you will notice the weight loss in your body to a greater degree than in your breast.

Weight Loss after Breast Augmentation
It is difficult to say how much weight loss will effect the breast after augmentation. Everyone's body is different in where they store fat and where they tend to lose weight. YOU know your body best. If you have lost weight in the past and know that you don't typically lose the weight in your breast, then 15-20 lb. weight loss will likely not effect your breast given your height and weight.

Breast Implants and Weight Change -- Not What You Might Think
Here is what happens to your breast size when you change weight after having breast implants*:
Breast Implants + Weight Gain = SMALLER Breast Size
Breast Implants + Lose Weight = BIGGER Breast Size
*Proportional to your body
This may seem counter-intuitive, however remember that this is what happens proportionally. Here is how this works:
When you gain weight, the added pounds disperse throughout the body, not just in the breast. When you gain weight with...

No answer to your question
There isn't any way to answer the question here. All you can do is hope you will return to your best weight and see what happens to the breasts. Your large implants will have stretched the skin so weight loss may not leave you in the same place as when you previously weighed 125.

Weight loss after breast surgery
There is not a magic number that applies to everyone. Within a normal range of weight variances, say 10 pounds or so, there should really be no differences. With major weight loss, there may be some changes, but these depend on the ratio of fat/breast/implant volumes as others have stated.
Good Luck.

Weight loss after breast implants
This mostly depends on how much breast versus fat tissue you have in your breasts and how your breasts respond to weight loss or weight gain. There is no formula so you have to see what happens to your breasts as your weight changes.

Breasts and Weight...Implants
This is an unknown. A lot depends on size of breast before augmentation. Lose the weight because it is the best health choice and then see where you are . The effect may be little but wait and see.

Weight loss after breast augmentation.
Since everyones body is different, it is hard to tell you how much weight you can lose before your breasts will change in appearance. It also depends on how much fatty breast tissue you have.

Weight loss after implants
It is difficult to say what specific weight is required to be lsot before you see a change in the breasts. Everyone is different, it depends upon how much fatty tissue is in the breasts as well.

Weight loss after breast augmentation
You dont say if your implants are in front vs behind the muscle, how large your breasts were before your surgery, or if you had any drooping before or after surgery. Breast tissue is made up of both parenchyma (breast tissue) as well as fat. Some womens breasts will change dramatically with weight gain or loss, some womens breasts change very little. If you had the surgery at your current weight, then it is likely that you did not have much breast tissue to begin with,...
