5'1 140 lbs. too heavy for breast aug? (photo)

Unfortunately,
your photograph is not helpful.Since
you have had a pregnancy, you may benefit from a simultaneous lift.I recommend a new technique called Breast
Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast LiftTM.Using only a circumareola incision it is
possible to reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate
them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.Through the same incision, implants can be
placed.Aligning the areola, breast
tissue and implant over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes
anterior projection with a minimal size implant.Small round textured silicone gel implants
placed retro-pectoral position look and feel more natural, are more stable,
less likely to ripple or have complications needing revision.Implant profile is irrelevant in the
retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

   Being 10 lbs from your ideal weight would not prevent you from having surgery.  The key is to reach a stable weight so that the result is as good as possible.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for the question. Although weight loss will not have a direct effect on your breast implants,  significant weight loss may affect the appearance of your breasts in general. It is difficult to predict how a specific young lady's breasts will change with weight loss; how the breasts were affected historically with weight loss may be  the best indication how you will do.Generally speaking, significant weight loss can lead to some change in breast tissue (and/or nipple/areola) position;  this “sagging” is called breast ptosis medically.Therefore, generally speaking, it is in patient's best interest to achieve a long-term stable weight prior to undergoing elective breast surgery.I hope this, and the attached link, help.
