I have always had saggy breasts, just like I have always been overweight. I am 18, 5 ft tall and weigh around 263. I am looking to get down to around 120 or less. My bra size is 44C but I believe I could fit into a B because the C is a little big. I want a breast lift but I am nervous about going under anesthesia. I also want to make sure they can lift my breasts since they are very saggy. Any advice? Thanks!
Answer: Self Conscious About my Saggy Breasts? (photo)
Your breasts can be lifted, but my recommendation is to lose the excess weight first, for two reasons. First, significant. weight reduction will improve your quality of life immeasurably more than breast lift. Second, if you have the mastopexy (breast lift) and then lose the excess weight, your breasts will diminish in size, may even sag again, and the operation may need to be repeated, and you may want implants as well if the breasts get much smaller when you lose weight. You CAN lose the weight, it is all mental, lifestyle, and you need the right help. Choosing the right weight loss plan is like choosing the right surgeon: Your success depends very much upon your selection. Also, no matter what plan you choose, you share responsibility for the result.

Yes, I would also agree that losing weight first will make you a better surgical candidate in terms of safety, and you will be happier with the result if you lose weight first. As you lose weight, your breast size will decrease as well. Once you have reached your ideal weight, a breast lift will get rid of the saggy appearance. You are not alone in your anxiety regarding
anesthesia. A young patient as yourself, can typically undergo anesthesia with few complications if they are a healthy weight and have no other medical issues, which is another reason to achieve a
healthy weight prior to surgery. Make sure you select a board certified plastic surgeon that operates in an accredited surgical facility with board certified anesthesiologists. Good luck to you!

Answer: To Lose Weight Before or After Breast Lift
If you have a significant amount of weight to lose, always lose the weight first. Otherwise, you will likely need two breast lift procedures. Good luck with the weight loss.

Answer: Weight loss and breast surgery
Dear kcb315,
Thanks for submitting your pictures. If you are planning to lose 143 lbs , it will be smarter to do it after you have lost the weight. Otherwise your breast might be too small with too much skin laxity after such a large weight loss. There is a book by the name - 'Sugar busters' . It is required reading by all my patients. It discusses in plane English, the physiology of fat production by the body . It gives recommendation for weight loss by changing the type of food that you should it. It will help you tremendously to lose weight and keep it away for the long term.
Best of luck,
Dr Widder
