Will weight loss affect my breast implants?
Generally an A cup breast is already pretty slim so therefore would not be as affected by a 15lb weight loss. One possible concern in a small breast receiving a larger (400+ cc) implant in the sub-glandular position would be visible wrinkling. Always discuss any concerns with your doctor before undergoing surgery.

Weight loss and breast surgery
A 15 lb weight loss before or after breast surgery can certainly impact the selection of the implants and possibly the operation based upon how the breasts appear after the weight loss.

Weight loss and augment
I recommend that you reach and maintain your goal weight prior to surgery. For some patients, the weight difference can result in sagging and for others it is perfectly okay. But, is it worthwhile to have a procedure and then regret the volume in proportion to a small weight or to have a negative consequence?

Weight loss before breast surgery
Breast tissue changes with weight loss/gain, periods, pregnancy, etc. Some people can gain or lose four or five pounds and all of it is in their breasts. Some can gain or lose twenty or thirty pounds and none if it is in their breasts. You know better than anyone how your breasts might respond to weight loss or gain.

Weight loss before surgery
In general, it is best to be at or very near your goal weight before surgery.
Good luck.
