Losing weight after breast reduction surgery?

January 7, 2015
Asked By:livrobot in Australia, AU

I'm 17, turning 18 in February, and on the 27th of January I'm fiiiinally having a breast reduction. I'm a 16E and weigh 72 kilos and am 5'8. I used to do a lot of sports i.e. tennis, netball, swimming, softball - however my breasts were so heavy and large I felt insecure and pain when I tried to run, in particular. I'd like to lose 10 kilos or so. Will this be easier to achieve once I've had the surgery?
