Breast Surgery after Weight Loss?

Thank you for the question. Although I empathize with your situation at your young age, I hope that you are not serious when you describe it as a “life crisis”. If you are serious, with all due respect, counseling may be in order. For most patients, who present with your concerns, breasts augmentation/breast lifting may be indicated at some point. Timing of the surgery is important and should be coordinated with other life events such as... more
