Hello,

I advise my patients to have surgery when they are at the weight that they feel they can maintain realizing that losses or gains can change the result. The real question here is if you lose the weight will you keep it off? I am not a big fan of encouraging patients to lose weight just to have them gain it after surgery.

Losing and gaining weight is that which makes most women's breasts change is size
