I am planning to have breast reduction/lift surgery in January. I have been working out consistently and I am concerned that if I lose more weight after surgery my breasts wont be as lifted.

Answer: Weight Loss Affect Breast Reduction? It is recommended that you get to your goal weight and one that you can maintain before having breast reduction surgery. It would depend on how much weight you lose as to whether it will change your breasts after your reduction. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Breast Reduction Thank you for your question. If you do lose weight after surgery this will reduce the amount of fat within the body and the breast area as well depending on how much is lost and will possibly cause sagging. It is recommended to stay at a stable weight after surgery. Be sure to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Answer: If you lose more weight after a breast reduction/lift surgery, will the new shape that was created be ruined? Losing over 20 lbs tends to affect the results in a detrimental fashion. This has some variability as a 20 lb weight loss in a 220 lb woman may have less of an effect than a 20 lb weight loss in a 120 lb woman. Most PS recommend that you maintain a stable weight for several months prior to surgery so if you plan to lose additional weight, do it now for the best results.

Answer: Timing of surgery The best time for surgery is the point at which you have reached a healthy, happy, stable weight (preferably with a BMI < 30). This will help you reach the optimal result. However, that is not to say you cannot have surgery prior to that point. You must be willing to accept the possibility (i.e. likelihood) of the need for further surgical revision following further (significant) changes such as those seen after pregnancy or with continued weight fluctuation. As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
