i will be going to have breast augmentation tomorrow with 440gram implants. My surgeon said that losing more than 5kg will affect the implant ( that you may be able to see the lining of the implants etc). But if I lose 5kg of fat and gain 5kg of muscle, does that mean I've stayed the same weight? Or does he mean that I can't lose 5kg of fat?
Answer: Losing weight after implants? Thank you for the question. Although weight loss will not have a direct effect on your breast implants, significant weight loss may affect the appearance of your breasts in general.It is difficult to predict how a specific young lady's breasts will change with weight loss; how the breasts were affected historically with weight loss may be the best indication how you will do.Generally speaking, significant weight loss can lead to some change in breast tissue (and/or nipple/areola) position; this “sagging” is called breast ptosis medically.Sometimes, patients who lose weight will have a smaller amount of breast/soft tissue coverage overlying the breast implants; this change in breast anatomy may lead to a greater degree of breast implant palpability and/or rippling. In these cases, the breasts may also appear smaller.Therefore, generally speaking, it is in patient's best interest to achieve a long-term stable weight prior to undergoing elective breast surgery.I hope this, and the attached link, help.

Answer: Weight loss after BA Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your decision to undergo a breast augmentation surgery.Simply, a reasonable weight loss should not impact of the size of a woman's breasts.That being said, fat tissue takes a fairly good percentage of the total breast volume and so considerable weight loss may affect the size of the breasts moderately.As for gaining 5 kg of muscle, I doubt that this volume will be completely focused in the chest area and so you may not be benefiting extensively from this increase in muscle mass.

Answer: Losing weight after implants Hello, some people do not find that their breast size changes much with minor weight loss or gain, but other report a big change. It is hard to predict the effect of a 5kg weight loss on their breast implant result. It would also depend on other factors like the amount of pre-existing breast tissue, skin tone, nipple position, etc.

Answer: Losing weight after breast augmentation If you have small breasts and are not getting a lift I doubt it will matter. If you have larger breasts that are a little saggy then it could matter. We all lose and gain weight in different places. That would be for your to know. You could have a 10pound weight gain or loss and no change in shape of your breast, just your legs and butt. I am not sure your PS can predict that.

Answer: Weight Loss after Breast Implants With weight loss, age and pregnancy the breast usually loses glandular tissue and fat. That leaves a smaller native breast and a thinner layer of tissue covering the implant. The first leads to an overall smaller breast and the latter to lead to increased feel and visibility of the implant.
