Lost 15kg in 2 months, became a "Princess Taiping" due to emotional setbacks

Women who suffer emotional setbacks often lose their appetite, coupled with improper diet, especially lack of protein, which is essential for a balanced diet. This can easily lead to rapid weight loss. The most obvious sequelae is flat breasts, turning them into "Princess Taiping".

A 25-year-old Miss Peng once weighed as much as 94 kg three years ago. Later, with the help of a doctor, she successfully lost 44 kg in three years. After that, she gained 10 kg back when she fell in love, but unfortunately her relationship changed. So she only ate fried potato chips and simple bananas, apples, and a little starch for three meals. In just two months, her weight dropped from nearly 60 kg to 45 kg. What's worse, her breasts shrank from a B+ cup to an A- cup, which troubled her a lot. Finally, she had to seek autologous fat breast augmentation surgery.

Doctor Yang Mingjin from the Weight Loss Beauty Center said that Miss Peng's weight loss method obviously lacked protein intake, and the main components of breasts are fat and collagen. Using improper dieting methods will lead to a serious lack of protein intake in the body. When a person is in a state of hunger for a long time, he or she will inevitably mobilize stored fat and protein to cope with it. Once the breast fat and protein decrease, the skin will become loose and the breast muscles will be lost. Malnutrition will cause glandular tissue to atrophy, reducing the overall breast tissue, so the breasts become smaller and sagging.

Dr. Yang Mingjin said that in addition, he has seen many women in clinical practice who have inappropriate weight loss methods and only rely on drinking water, eating fruits or eating low-calorie starch. When the body lacks protein for a long time, the protein tissue of the pectoralis major muscle under the breast will disintegrate or the breast will atrophy, and the breasts will become smaller or flatter in about 3 months. To lose weight correctly without side effects, you must first pay attention to calorie intake. For a person weighing 60 kg, the daily calorie intake should not exceed 1,300 calories, and maintaining a balanced diet with 30% protein, 40% to 50% fruits and vegetables, and 10% starch can achieve safe weight loss.

Autologous fat breast augmentation surgery is to extract enough fat cells from the abdomen, thighs or other obese areas, purify and extract them, and then implant them into the breast tissue to make the breasts larger. Autologous fat breast augmentation is a surgery suitable for women with local obesity and undersized breasts. According to clinic statistics, 50% of the patients who come for this surgery are women with postpartum breast atrophy, another 30% are women with flat breasts due to improper weight loss, and 20% are women who are dissatisfied with their breast size. However, it is not suitable for use if you do not have enough fat, have blood diseases, or have a family history of breast problems.
