Is it true if you gain weight back then the breast size will come back?

Question

I'm a 25 year old female. 5'1 and 106 pounds. Recently lost 30 pounds without trying. Already been to a doctor and had blood work done and everything is fine so still not sure why I lost the weight. I used to be a 36D and since losing the weight I am a 32B but I actually fit better in 32C. I am very self conscious of my boobs now. I'm considering implants but people tell me if I gain some weight back then my boobs will come back. Is this true or would implants be the best bet? What size if so?

It seems that you gain and lose weight in your breast with weigt loss.  If you have significant weight gain them this may change your augmentation. If you fluctuate < 10 lbs your augmentation will remain stable.

Every woman is different in how their breasts respond to changes in weight you have already shown that your breast are quite sensitive to weight changes.  I would wait until you are sure your weight is stable, and if the breasts don't meet your expectations at that time, then see a board certified plastic surgeon with a special interest in breast surgery and communicate how you wish your breasts to look and go from there.  Don't do anything until you know what your normal weight will be.

Dear Beachlovn, Thank you for your post.   Most women do gain back breast size if they gain weight.  The best idea is to choose the weight that you want to be at long term then get to that weight.  Once you are at that weight, a decision can be made on whether or not you want breast augmentation.Best Wishes,Pablo Prichard, MD

Its difficult to predict how your body will exactly change with significant weight changes.  Please visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about your options.

In most cases gaining weight can also increase breast size however there is no guarantee that you will achieve the fullness that you had 130 pounds heavier.  Please see up toward certified plastic surgeon for an examination and advice.
