    Default lets talk boobies!!!!

    hi, so i had my surgery Oct 1st, 2016, down 39lbs. i had a breast reduction Jan 2012, they made them nice and small, took 10lbs of boob off, and i always looked disproportionate, but since my surgery, im shrinking into my boobs, they are not sagging and they are hanging very nice and they remind me of how they looked 25yrs ago, im 40. they have a nice dip and pointy tip, i have tons to lose, but right now, i am ok with how things are turning out.

    i would share a pic, but im not sure if it would be ok, and i dont have one handy, but i think i will take one.

    share boob stories, do you like how things are shaping up, do you wear a certain kind of bra, anything.

    I was wearing a 38C bra on the day I was sleeved. Nearly 19 months later I am a 34A. I wear padded 34B bras for the push-up effect.

    I am now officially a member of the itty-bitty-titty club, although my small boobs do not bother me much. To be honest, my boobs look a lot like deflated balloons these days. However, I'd rather have a normal body weight with deflated boobs than a fat body with big boobs, so the trade-off is worth it to me.


    10/23/14 Initial Consult 200 lb, 5'1 tall

    I went from a 44DD to a 34A/B. If it weren't for all the excess skin taking up room I would be a solid A. My boobs are so floppy I actually have a hard time finding bras that my boobs don't fall out of when I bend over. (Think of two tennis balls in the toes of a couple tube socks). If I Were to ever have plastics, it would be to remove my boob skin with no enhancement. I lived my first 45 years with big boobs, I'd be perfectly happy spending the next 45 with none.

    I went from a 42C to a 36/38B. of course I'm not at goal yet, but saw some deflating only during the past two months, not before. So I'm wearing push up bras to keep things at sea level...so far I am sure that what ever happen I will not have plastic surgery. I will have to get an abdominoplasty because of my muscle issues...I really don't care if my breast look less attractive....thank you wonder bra...

    I have the same issue with several cut/brands... and I look like I have a muffin bra...
    I like that brand "Wacoal Women's Retro Chic Underwire Bra" because nothing fall out or move on top with those... it does look a little like our grandma undies but whatever...

    I gotta say.....

    I love this thread

    Seriously....I'll admit to being an avowed boob man.

    I've said this before. When women lose weight, they lose some of the inches that make them look like women. When men lose weight, they reacquire the inches that make them men......

    Oh...and just to be topical, I went from a 58DD to not needing a manssierre at all......

    Tinman...ROFLMAO!!!

    42DD back down to 36B. My story is similar to Kindle...
    Think of two tennis balls in the toes of a couple tube socks.
    I'm not looking to have anymore surgery anytime soon. My husband is as happy with how I look as I am. That works for me!

    My bra choice has always been cotton with underwire...it remains that way.

    Thanks for the tips gals. Unfortunately I hate underwire - didn't even wear them when I was a double D. Mine is really a functionality issue rather than aesthetic. Don't really care what they look like as long as I can keep them contained. Push ups end up being push outs. And there's too many wrinkles and floppy folds for decent cleavage anyways. In the end, good ol sports bras work best and I've got a couple B cups that aren't too bad for when I wear something that my sports bras would otherwise show through.

    I went fro a 44D to a 38DDD. Without a bra they deflate with an underwrite they are fine.

    I had breast reduction as well when I was 20. I wasn't overweight at the time. I just had very big boobs. I had my gastric surgery 15 years later. My boobs have held up nice. But, when I went down to about 165 lbs, I wasn't pleased at all with how they looked. This was after I lost 105 lbs. they were a little deflated-looking and I started to develop stretch marks on them a little bit. I never wanted to go down to 165 lbs. I like how I look at around 180-185 lbs the best. I have since gained back about 15 lbs and I couldn't be happier with how I look and feel....especially how my boobs look. I'm back at a full D cup and they don't have stretch marks. They are holding up very well. I think breast reduction or not; whenever, there is considerable weight loss that the boobs will reflect the drastic change.

    I had breast reduction in 2003. so far they have held up fine after my 35 lb weight loss. I am happy to be rid of the back fat though. My bras are getting a little loose on me but I am still wearing my 42C.

    I was a 48H and now I'm a 34-36 DDD. I actually shopped at Victoria Secret for the first time ever which was exciting and overwhelming. I've noticed that I have what a lot of others have said. My breasts are still full but now I have this issue where whenever I bend over they spill out or puff over giving me this quad boob look. Not cute. I have some sports bras I really like and I do better with full cups or demi cups for support, and most of them have underwire.

    My husband does not mind. He gets to help me pick out things in VS, so for him smaller boobs is not a loss, but a win!

    Great topic.

    I was a 40-42 G (depending on make of bra) and as of now I'm a 36G but could probably go down in cup size but I'm tired of buying bras while I'm still losing. I do have to say that I will be buying those chicken fillet things which can only help me, thankfully my hubby's not a breast man, lol.
