DO BOOBS WITH IMPLANTS BECOME SMALLER WITH WEIGHT LOSS?

Discover How Weight Fluctuations Affect Breast Augmentation in St. Louis, Missouri

Patients who are having augmentation mammoplasty or breast augmentation - a procedure that some people call “boob augmentation” or “breast aug” - will want to get the most out of their investment and ensure that results are long-lasting. If you have been searching online for advice by typing in “breast implants” or “boobs with implants,” our St. Louis West County Plastic Surgeons of Washington University team will explain more about how to preserve results.

How Are Boobs with Implants Affected by Weight Fluctuations?

It’s normal for women to experience weight fluctuations throughout adult life. Many women who have lost weight notice that their breasts are unfortunately one of the first areas to become smaller. The size and shape of the breasts can change drastically due to hormonal fluctuations or losing or gaining weight.

Patients who choose to have big boob implants often have questions about how weight fluctuations might after their look. Breast implants or “boob implants,” as some patients call them, do not become smaller if you lose weight. Weight fluctuations do not directly affect boobs with implants; the implants themselves remain the same size and shape they were originally.

However, the breast contours are made up of a large amount of fat, so gaining or losing weight can greatly affect the appearance of the breasts as a whole and a patient’s overall appearance if they have decided to get bigger boobs with implants. Women who naturally have a larger amount of fatty tissue in their breasts may have more noticeable changes to the appearance of their breasts after losing or gaining weight. A small amount of weight loss will not typically affect the appearance of boobs with implants.

Patients who are researching topics related to getting larger boobs with implants might also have other questions about how breast implants with fat transfer compares to “boobs with implants” for breast augmentation, how to achieve the most natural breast augmentation results, average prices of boob implants, how different types of boob implants including gummy bear implants and other silicone implants compare, what to know before and after a boob lift or boob augmentation, whether you should choose the biggest boob implants possible or opt for a more subtle size increase, and how the teardrop boob shape for implants compares to other shapes for implants. Our team is available to help you get started and address any questions or concerns you might have about the process of achieving bigger boobs with implants.

Beyond Boobs with Implants: Other Cosmetic Treatments

West County Plastic Surgeons also offers other options for enhancing your body shape. If you have or are considering getting bigger boobs with implants, there are other procedures to enhance the upper and lower body as well such as liposuction and tummy tuck that can provide a comprehensive body transformation. Liposuction is designed to target diet and exercise-resistant pockets of fat on almost any area of the body, to provide a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance. A tummy tuck can address sagging, loose skin on the stomach and separated or weakened abdominal muscles, providing a flatter and more toned midsection.
