Waiting Period for Breast Reduction or Lift After Weight Loss?

Hi,
Thank you for your question!
Once you have reached a weight which you feel you can steadily maintain, you can proceed with the breast reduction or lift. Ideally, you want to have maintained your weight loss for at least 6 months and be at a steady weight. If you feel you can't maintain your goal weight, you may want to reevaluate things. Gaining and losing weight can have an impact on your results post-op. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to get more individualized advice and go from there. Congratulations on your weight loss and good luck with the remainin few pounds.
Best regards,
Dr. Speron

Thank you for your question.
It is best to be at your goal /stable weight. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

First off, congratulations on such a substantial
amount of weight loss and taking this important step toward a healthier future.
There is no amount of time that you will necessarily have to wait after you
feel like you are at your target weight goal to proceed with your breast
reduction. Considering you are healthy and have the time to dedicate to
recovery, you can schedule your breast lift almost immediately. The only advice
I would give you is to make sure that you are at a stable weight, as
considerable weight fluctuations can reverse or strain the effects of your
surgery.
