Hey anon, welcome to EmpowHer. We asked one of the country's best breast experts for her thoughts and here's what she had to say ...
"The amount of tissue that is "moved up" is dependent on how much tummy fat you have. Tummy fat though usually is the hardest fat to lose when weight reduction happens. It is a slower metabolic rate, like breast fat actually. Sit in a chair and grab your fingers around the tummy fat you feel. Keep in mind that the tummy fat removed and used goes all the way over to both of your hips too. Someone with 40Cs needs more than someone who is 34C, due to width needed. So, if you want, eat a little extra high fat foods to put a few pounds back on. Tell your friends, "I'm eating for three- myself and my two new breasts!"
