For the girls: about the girls ...

So sorry if this is TMI, but where else can I ask:
Is it normal for bust size to get bigger again? I bought new bras In the spring. Although my weight has fluctuated up and down within a 5 lb range since then, with no noticeable difference in fit, just lately the bra cups have been more filled. The girls are fuller. One of the bras I bought (it was a little smaller than the others) does not fit at all now. I read once that eventually our body redistributes our weight--it was a comment on how initially after all the weight loss, our faces will look very gaunt, but that they eventually fill in. . I am two years out from surgery. Could this be what I am experiencing? Not with my face, but lower?

I'm 20 months out and the girls have only gone in one direction-- deflate. I've heard that about weight redistributing, but don't think I'm there yet personally.
Have the straps been adjusted? I know when my cup gaps from deflate, I tighten the straps to buy more time in this size. Maybe loosen your straps a little?

Never heard of anyone mentioning redistributing in this area...but why not? Anything can happen, right? A better test would be to take measurements.... and see if there are changes.

I guess redistribution here is better than onto my nose and earlobes, right?!
I never took measurements at the beginning of the WLS process. I wish I had.

I have definitely gone through a weight distribution. In fact, I am really glad I didn't consider plastics before now. Many of the things that I thought were unacceptably bad/flat/flabby -- have definitely gotten a lot better.
One of those parts were my breasts. At my heaviest, I wore a 44 DD. As one can imagine, as I lost 219 pounds, they became very deflated. I lost a lot of breast tissue from the top of my breasts. I was wearing a 32B and really, I think an A might have worked. I will add that despite everything, I do not suffer from any real sagging.
This past six months, I have gone through an amazing redistribution. For example, my waist went from a solid 29.5 inches down to 26.5 without any further loss. My husband noticed that my rear end is absolutely smooth now -- I didn't believe him -- but he is right. My breasts filled back in a bit -- I now wear a 32C.
So yes, I do think it's possible!

Thanks for this full description about your experience! I am glad for the advice about waiting on plastics. I think I exercise can affect things too.

Absolutely. I call it fat redistribution.
At one time I ended up with a large C cup. Then a couple of years later I was back to DD. With not much of weight gain.
Some women with genetic predisposition - tend to accumulate the day in the breast area.
When I lose weight - I lose it in my face and my butt first. But when I gain - I gain in the breast - stomach, tight - first...
