i had a breast lift with implants two years ago, but i want to lose the 40 pounds i have gained! will that make my breasts look wierd? I have very small implants for volume one is 120 ccs and the other is 150 ccs. i am a 38D now. I have always been a 36 full C without the surgery.
Answer: Breast Augmentation/Mastopexy and Weight Loss?
Yes, I think your breasts may change with 40 pound weight loss. You may find that they are smaller in size and/or more ptotic. Nevertheless, I would encourage you to achieve your long-term weight goals and deal with the breast changes if they occur.
Best wishes.

With a 40 pound weight loss, I would be concerned that you could develop a double bubble type deformity. However, it is more important that you lose the weight and cross that breast bridge when it is appropriate.

Answer: Weight loss and changing breast size and shape
In general, a small amount of weight loss should not affect your breasts too much. Forty pounds, however, is not a small amount of weight. Since you have very small implants and large breasts it would appear that the majority of your breasts size is made up of breast tissue.
Therefore, your breasts will be more likely to change with weight loss than if they were mostly implant. Still, I would recommend that you lose the weight as there are health benefits to your weight loss. If your breasts change in an unappealing way (which may and may not happen) you can always have a revision. You will still benefit from the weight loss. Chances are your breasts will still be quite lovely after 40 pounds of weight loss.
I hope this info helps!

Answer: 40 lb weight loss will probably change the outcome of your surgery
Hi there-
I would be surprised if a weight loss of the magnitude that you are planing did not change the shape and size of your breasts at least a little...
Whether or not the change is significant enough that you want to do something about it, however, is another story.... It may be that the change is relatively subtle and you remain pleased... It is even possible (although unlikely) that you are pleased with the changes that occur...
Most likely is that your breasts appear more deflated and droopy after this larger weight loss, and that you decide you want a revision to restore your best breast contour.
I would emphasize to you, however, that this should not be a reason to NOT pursue a healthier lifestyle- if you have 40 pounds to lose, you could not help but be healthier for it.

Answer: A "weighty" issue
Dear Peebles,
It is difficult to say what the outcome of your breast shape will be after a 40 pound weight loss. It depends on how much fat is in your breast verses breast tissue. This is way I like patients to have a stable weight (close to ideal or desired weight) prior to any body or breast contouring surgery. You will just have to wait for the end result.
Good Luck
Dr. ES
