I Am 29 with a Size 40K Bra. I Am 189 Pounds. If I Lose 60 Pounds Will my Breast Sag?

Weight loss will most likely reduce the size of your breasts but also make them sag, since 60lbs is a lot of weight lose and your skin may not be able to retract well. However, it's not 100% and you should probably lose the weight regardless for your health. Then, if your breasts do in fact sag, you can always consider a breast lift.

Without seeing pictures of your breasts or examining you in person, it is impossible to give you specific advice.  However, if you are not at or close to your ideal weight and you have that as a goal, then you should achieve that weight before having surgery.  However, if you do not plan to loose that weight or if you think loosing the weight is unrealistic, then you should go ahead and have the breast reduction.

 

Good luck.

Thank you for the question.

Yes, it is very likely that your breasts will change (size and position) with 60 pound weight loss. If you are contemplating the weight loss then it would be in your best interest to have the breast surgery after you have  reached your long-term stable weight. This will improve your chances of achieving your goals and minimize the chances that revision surgery will be necessary afterwards.

Best wishes.

Hello Mpete: Losing weight may or may not affect your breast size; many women tell me that if they lose weight, they often don't lose it in the breast.  My guess is that if you did lose that much weight, then yes your breasts would sag; the breasts don't really have a lot of support on the chest wall, and as we age, the skin and breast tissues  become even looser (obviously other things affect appearance including pregnancies).  Breast reduction surgery can make your breasts more proportional to the rest of your body, and often with smaller breast it is easier to exercise.  If your goal is to lose the weight you stated, then I would do this first and let this stabilize; then seek the breast reduction. I would get several opinions and discuss your goals; although no one can promise you a specific breast (cup) size; the goal is to achieve breasts that are more comfortable and in "sync" with the rest of  your body. Good luck

If you are planning to lose that much weight (i.e. to 125-130), then I recommend not having surgery at this time; however, if that is not your plan, then a breast reduction would be a good option.  It is a great operation, and the vast majority of patient are happy with their decision.
