Breasts weight can change with body weight

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD answers: Sagging after Breast Reduction?

I am a 42J, 5’4, 180 pounds, 22 yeard old, and planning to have a breast reduction. I am in the process of losing weight before surgery. Will my breasts sag after my surgery with more weight loss? Let’s say I get down to 150/160 pounds before the surgery, and then lose an additional 20/30 after the surgery. Will this make my breasts more saggy? They are already very saggy right now.

 It is always best to be at or close to your desired weight prior to any body contouring procedure.   The breast can respond differently on different women when it comes to weight loss.  If you notice a good deal of change of the breasts with weight fluctuation then it  will be better for you to get down to an ideal and realistic weight before surgery.
