Post-mammoplasty style tips for disguising a more noticeable stomach

3 replies

Anonymousfivetrillion · 26/04/2026 14:14

I’ve recently had a therapeutic mammoplasty with ‘reduction and lift’. Boobs have gone down from a massive 38KK to … I’m not sure what tbh, but v small in comparison - I’m guessing a D or even a C, although I won’t know for sure until the swelling goes and they settle which takes 6 months to a year.

Anyway, my main issue is that my stomach has obviously been been plotting for many years to take over the world whilst hiding in plain sight under my absolutely ginormous boobs and is now very much out and proud! I seem to have gone from boobs arriving everywhere a good five minutes before the rest of me, to looking as though I could be pregnant (something of a miracle as I’m over 60) as the stomach is now taking the lead!

I am hoping to do something about the fat tum, but in the meantime (and in the not unlikely event I’m unsuccessful) would appreciate any tips as to how I can camouflage it a bit. I’m not expecting miracles, but having spent decades trying (and frankly failing) to look less like a ship in full sail, I now have a completely different problem and am frankly a bit stumped. I’d be very grateful for any suggestions.

aha. We chat about this on the breast reduction AMA thread
no conclusion beyond lose weight. Wear loose clothes

I had a feeling this was going to be the outcome. Loose clothes settle nicely on the stomach. It’s not too different to the shelf I had with the boobs. Oh well, it looks like a diet or just get used to it!
