Many women choose to lose weight after having a breast augmentation because they are pleased with their new look and are motivated to do more. It is difficult to lose weight, but a new slimmer body can be quite rewarding.

Significant Weight Loss May Affect Your Breasts

A common question that is asked of Dr. Miguel Delgado, M.D. is “how will I look if I lose weight after my breast augmentation?” Depending on the amount of weight loss there can be some downsides. For example, if you have breast implants, the size and shape that were selected for you before weight loss, may no longer look right.

It is difficult to say how a woman’s breasts will look after significant weight loss as women have different ratios of fat and breast tissue. Usually, women who seek breast augmentation do not have a lot of breast fat. For most, 10 to 20 pounds of weight loss won’t make a visible difference. In some cases, losing weight may make the breast implants more visible with less tissue for coverage. When there are physical changes, the implants may settle into a new position. It is possible that the nipples will be lower and the breasts will sag. However, women gain and lose weight in different areas of their body. If in the past (before breast augmentation surgery), if you noted how your breasts responded to weight fluctuations, it will be the same.

There Are Many Implant Choices
