Losing weight is great for the waistline but can have a negative effect on the appearance of the breasts. The breasts are primarily comprised of fat and glandular tissue. When you lose weight, fat cells across the entire body shrink, including the ones located in your breasts. After extensive weight loss, some women report dropping several bra sizes. Your breasts may become saggy or deflated due to this volume loss.

Breast augmentation can restore the appearance of your breasts after weight loss. An implant is placed into the breast, adding volume and enhancing the breasts’ shape. Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic breast surgeries. This procedure is a favorite for women who have recently lost weight and those who simply want a larger cup size.

Can Breast Augmentation Restore My Breast Volume After Weight Loss?

When you thought about weight loss, you probably didn’t consider the effect that losing weight would have on your breasts. A better body shape and improved health are wonderful reasons to lose weight. And with breast augmentation, you can keep the breasts you loved— even after dropping pounds.

We’ll use saline or silicone breast implants to restore your breast volume after weight loss and enhance your breast shape. By working with a skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Yegiyants, you may find that you love your new breasts even more than you loved your natural ones.

Do I Have Any Other Options for Reshaping the Breasts After Weight Loss?

If you find yourself with smaller breasts after weight loss, breast augmentation can give you that volume back. However, not every woman is interested in breast implants. Some women are simply frustrated by their now saggy- or deflated-looking breasts. Such patients often want a more lifted breast shape without implants.

For these patients, a breast lift may be the solution. This procedure shapes and lifts the breasts, alleviating sagging and creating a more youthful-looking breast. Your new breasts may be smaller than your pre-weight loss breasts, but they’ll be perkier and won’t be saggy or deflated. Breast lifts can also reduce enlarged areolas.

Other Popular Procedures After Weight Loss

Losing weight can spark a desire for a total body transformation. These procedures are some of our most popular after weight loss:

• Liposuction – Some patients have stubborn fat pockets that remain after weight loss. Target these trouble spots with liposuction, a surgical procedure that removes fat from areas like the waist, thighs, hips, and arms.
• Body Lift – Patients that have lost significant weight may have loose skin that remains after weight loss. A body lift removes this skin, increasing comfort and boosting body-confidence after weight loss.
• CoolSculpting^® – A non-surgical alternative to liposuction, CoolSculpting^® uses intense cold to freeze and permanently destroy fat cells in targeted areas.
• SculpSure^® – This non-invasive, light based technology targets and destroys fat cells permanently with no downtime or surgery.
• Renuvion – Also known as J Plasma or J Plasty, Renuvion refreshes and tightens loose skin without the need for extended downtime, invasive surgery, or large surgical scars.
