I am a 33 yo female, 5’4 currently 215lbs. I am looking to loose 35-40 lbs prior to doing any surgical procedures. However trying to see what my options look like. I feel like my breasts stopped growing as soon as they started. I have been the same non existent cup size since I started wearing a bra. I was unable to BF either one of my kids due to extremely low production. I feel like I have more ancillary tissue than actual breast.

Answer: BA candidate Dear Helpful355246, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from breast implants. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Considering Breast Augmentation After Weight Loss Goals Thank you for sharing your background—your goals and concerns are very valid, and it’s great that you’re thinking ahead while planning your weight loss. From what you’ve described, you sound like a suitable candidate for breast augmentation, particularly if you've consistently had limited breast volume and are now seeking more proportion and shape. Key factors working in your favor include: - Stable health and realistic goals: Planning to reach a steady weight before surgery sets the foundation for long-lasting results. - Consistently small breast size: Combined with low milk production, this may indicate underdevelopment, which implants can effectively address. - Presence of axillary (ancillary) tissue: This can be evaluated during your consultation and may be improved during the same procedure if needed. Once you’re closer to your target weight, a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help define the right implant size, type, and whether additional procedures such as a lift may enhance your results. I hope this helps clarify your path forward. Wishing you continued success on your journey. — Güray Yeşiladalı, MD
