WORTH IT$6,473
I am very new to the breast implant world!! Still doing my research to find exactly what I want. I am a little hesitant to get them right now particularly because I have gained weight over the past 6 months. I haven't found a goal to get me motivated to work to get me back into shape. *sigh* One of my dilemmas is do I wait until I lose the weight? Or will these implants give me the motivation to get back into the gym? I am finding of the profiles I have read on here, most are from people who have slender builds. Currently I am short 5'0 and slightly chubby belly right now (no children yet) with a decent cup size (very full B). I am wanting to go up two cup sizes to a full D or DD. One of my fears with implants is that I will end up look too top heavy if I don't end up losing weight post implants. Does anybody else have those feelings?

Congratulations on your decision to have breast surgery.
Ideally, I would recommend that you get as close as possible to your goal weight prior to surgery. Doing so will help minimize the number of operations that you undergo in your lifetime.
Factors that may affect the results include weight loss, weight gain, aging, and pregnancy. Otherwise, I would suggest that you select your plastic surgeon carefully and communicate your goals as well. Remember that communicating goals in terms of cup size can be a source of miscommunication. In my practice, I find the use of goal photographs very helpful during the preoperative communication process. Best wishes.

Before photos. Maybe I need to lose weight before surgery?!
I am loving this site! It is very helpful to answer many of my questions that I have in order to make an informed decision about surgery! I am enjoying being able to document my BA journey! One of the major feelings I have is that maybe perhaps I need to lose weight before I actually undergo this surgery. Does anybody else feel the same way? Currently I am about 150. My happy weight is 130...

Perhaps you could lose half the weight before and half after your surgery? You might want to consult with a doctor too as they might say that a major weight loss could affect your implant size decision. When would you like to have your surgery?

:) I think that I am going to take that advice! I have posted that question on here and it looks like the experts are saying to 1) get to a maintainable weight and 2) to think about historically where does my weight loss/gain occur on my body.
I am bikini competitor that has taken a good 6 month break from working out and clean eating - as it can be soooooooooo exhausting. Now that I am thinking about getting implants, I feel like it is the perfect motivation to get back in shape! I have started to cut back on my caloric intake and I am starting to get back on my cardio schedule. For me, I tend to gain/lose weight equally throughout body - so a 20 pound loss will come from a little bit of everywhere - including my boobs! I am hoping to get this surgery done at the end of next month. So hopefully I can lose about 10 pounds before then and then 10 pounds afterwards!

That's great you consulted with the RealSelf doctors! It sounds like you have a realistic plan. Here are some links that might be helpful. (They're not accessible via the App yet tho!)

When I started my consults they all asked had I lost a significant amount of weight & was I planning on losing more. Losing weight can affect the look of your breast after surgery from what I was told. I would recommend getting to your ideal weight, then try to maintain. But of course ask your surgeon for their opinion. Good luck : )

I had asked the 'weight loss' here on Real Self - different physicians said 1) you don't need to lose weight 2) get to a maintainable weight 3) get to an attainable weight or 4) get to a desirable weight. It is slightly confusing because for me and my body, each of those options is a different number on the scale. *sigh* As far my history with weight loss/gain is considered, I have not gotten to a weight that is desirable, attainable and maintainable... The struggle is real!! I wonder what the surgeon will say...

Well I don't think you need to lose with unless that was already a goal. Just remember that if you get surg first then decide to lose weight you may have extra skin? Also if you gain weight after surg the girls may get a little larger. Lol & yes I know the struggle really is! You will also want to keep in mind that after surg you won't be able to do real workouts for a bit depending on your surgeon. I gained a few pounds after & not just water weight. Hope this helps

Consultation is booked!
I have finally decided to book a consultation - I am excited and looking forward to it! I have called another physician's office to potentially schedule another one just to kinda shop around! I have got less than two weeks to prepare my list of questions and photos about what exactly I want!! Is there anything you guys recommend?
i'm more than 30 years old. in some time, my weight is increased too much. bothered me. and i found the best way for me is for long distance business. such as attend the fair and go the africa for marketing.
no matter how, even loose some weight. it can not compare as 20 years old.
my suggestion,lady, weight loss,you should do, control eating, more exercise. meanwhile, breast enlargement should also do,. no matter eat some medicine or use some cream or mechanical equipment. increase the female hormones.
