After a breast lift with implants surgery, if I were to lose weight would that cause my boobs to sag again ?

Dear applesaresoymmy22,
any major changes in weight will also cause changes in breast shape and size. So, if you lose much weight your breasts will probably deflate and sag.

There is no guarantee but it is common for the breasts to sag with weight loss, particularly when it is dramatic. That’s why it’s recommended that patients achieve a stable ideal weight before considering a breast lift.

Losing too much weight in a short period of time may cause skin to be saggy. You should consider losing 2-3kgs/month not more to reduce the risk of sagging after surgery. Another way to prevent sagging is to lose weight than get your surgery done.

It's the stretching of the breast tissue with at least 10% up and down weight change that could be the culprit in some cases. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author. RealSelf Distinguished Hall of Fame Inductee. Philadelphia, Pa., USA

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size. However, the breasts can droop again after weight depending on the breast lift technique. The breast lift technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. The answer is yes. However, even if you didn’t lose weight, aging and gravity will continue to act on your breasts causing them to change and possibly sag.

How much your breasts would change depends upon how much weight you lose. If you lose a little weight, you may notice minimal change. If you lose 100 pounds, there will be change. I suggest you lose the weight you want before the lift.

If you were to lose weight would your breasts sag again? The true answer is maybe. Weight loss of five to ten pounds won't likely have much of an impact on your results. However if you lose 50 pounds then you may see changes. Other factors that can influence your results are pregnancy as well as the size of your implants (larger implants are heavier).

Substantial weight loss can cause increased skin laxity.
I’m not sure what else to tell you.
