Would it be preferable to gain more muscle (to that of a fitness model) before or after I get a breast lift?

Asked By:Sam775 in New York, NY

I would like to develop my muscles to that of a fitness model. I'm at my ideal weight and toned. I'm wondering how the loss of fat and gain of muscle would affect my results, if at all. I'm guessing if I reach my goal after surgery, the loss of fat would negatively affect volume but perhaps the gain in muscle would counteract and even give me better results? Definitely no implants. (Breast lift needed due to rapid growth during puberty).
