Hi! I am a woman in my mid twenties and I had a breast augmentation 2 years ago. I was about 20 lbs thinner then I currently am when I had the procedure and still wasn’t fully at my goal weight. I would like to lose 50 lbs in total and would like to know what to expect with my implants with that level of weight loss? I do hope they will get smaller and perkier if I work out while losing weight. Mostly just concerned about sagging and loose skin….
Answer: Weight loss after breast augmentation You will have a better idea what will happen after 3 to 6 months after you reach your goal weight. Your breasts will reach their final change and shape after this time. A lot depends on the quality of your skin elasticity and the amount of fat in your breasts that you will lose.

Answer: Depends on how weight loss affects your body Typically, significant weight loss can cause the breasts to sag. They may also become smaller. However, this not guaranteed. As a result, it would be difficult to predict how weight loss would affect your breasts.

Answer: Breast Implants and Weight Loss With a 50lb weight loss, you should expect a significant change in the breast size. The implant volume is fixed, but the surrounding breast tissue will decrease and change the size of the breasts in general. As far as perkier, that is not usually the case post weight loss - the weight loss often causes the breasts to appear saggier since the decreased volume can lead to looser skin. The best thing to do is to go for a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and see what they recommend. I hope this helps.

Answer: Breast augmentation after weight loss Thank you for your question. Breast implants are not affected by weight changes. They stay the same, but everything around them can and does change. Everything depends on everything. The details of your implants are important, so is the technique used in your surgery. For most patients, a fifty pound weight loss is very noticeable. I would advise you to reach your desired weight and stay there for a while (weight fluctuations are not uncommon). Once you're happy with your body, we can refine the breast volume and shape to match you body and desires. In some cases, not much is needed, in other cases, a breast lift and implant change is advisable.

Answer: Weight loss Some patients notice changes in their breast size with weight gain or loss, while others do not. If you are one who does you can expect that your natural tissue will decrease with weight loss while the implant volume obviously will stay the same. If you have good skin elasticity you may not notice much difference other than smaller breasts. However with a 50 lb weight loss it would not be unusual to have some looseness of the skin. Being at a healthy weight is encouraged. Any sagging can be addressed with a lift if needed.
