Survey for the ladies only
I'm already planning on it. Not so much interested in implants but a lift for sure. One is significantly smaller than the other now, not sure how much that will change with more weight loss and a lift. If they continue to be this drastic I'd possibly look into how to correct it. Maybe reduce the larger one. I don't know but I'm definitely going to have work done once at goal. Tummy tuck, arms and legs are on the list too.
I would if I needed it. I had a double mastectomy eleven years ago when I was 38, then in January 2012 my implants were failing so they were replaced. After surgery, all that skin was tightened up. I was losing weight then and a whole lot more since, gravity has been kinder to them!
Knowing the shelf life of implants, I'll probably need another upgrade in my lifetime. Then I would go smaller...since losing weight, I'm at 36DDD.
What I am definitely having done are my arms. I have so much hanging skin I feel like a bat! LOL

Hubby hates the thought of breast augmentation.
But at my smallest, I felt grotesque. For example when I bent over in the shower, or any other time, while naked, I had these two foot-long grotesque flaps of skin, like tube socks with lemons in them. I had no idea how much my breasts would challenge my own femininity. For me it was worse, in that prior to losing weight I had a lumpectomy that went horrifically wrong, and at the time about half of my breast was removed. The surgeon reassured me at the time that fat would fill in the emptiness and within a year I'd look fairly uniform. She was right, but the disfigurement became ludicrously obvious when I lost all the weight. But because I didn't have cancer, my health insurance wouldn't pay for surgery to make them uniform. Even just reduction and lift was not allowed.
My recent redistribution of weight has added more fat back to my breasts, and while I don't feel a need to be big-breasted it was a big part of my recent self-reflection that disturbed me, because a huge HUGE part of me didn't want to lose the weight I thought I'd gained if it meant going back to that mockery of feminine attributes. And, honestly, I'm thinking about how NOW, with my breasts so much heavier, I might be able to get a reduction/lift. I'd rather have a couple of small perky breasts than any augmentation. And since breast implants don't last forever, and I couldn't afford to get them replaced in ten years or whatever, I doubt I'd go there.
However, I might have to be tested for some genetic predisposition to certain types of cancers, including the type that Angelina Jolie experienced, and therefore I might have to have preventive surgery like she did... in that case I'd probably get implants. But probably the smallest and most durable long-lived as possible.
I have to say I was surprised at how deeply negatively affected I was at the pancake-tube-sock-with-lemons breasts
~Lady Lithia~ 200 lbs lost!
March 9, 2011 - Coccygectomy!
I chased my dreams, and my dreams, they caught me!
I'm floppy right now... And I haven't even had surgery yet. I definitely would have work done. I wouldn't mind having smaller perky ones if they could firm them up somehow. I don't know what to expect after surgery. I wasn't well endowed during my teenage years and then I gained a bunch of weight. I have no idea what they would look like if I was normal weight.
