Should I wait to get my breasts done until after I reach my goal weight? Will losing 30 lbs mess up a breast lift?

I have lost a substantial amount of weight. I have 30 or 40 lbs until I reach my goal weight. I plan on getting a breast lift first, then lipo, tummy tuck, and bbl. I want to get the latter when I'm abt 10 to 15 lbs away from my goal weight, so I can have enough fat. But I need time btwn surgeries. If I get a breast lift then lose 30 to 40 lbs will I mess up the lift? Will my breasts look saggy again? Should I get my breasts done 1st or after the other procedures?

Answer: Staging body lift procedures with 40 lbs to go
Just based on your photos, you would need the vertical lift in my hands to get the best results. The areolar lift is limited in how much is actually lifted. If it is pushed to do more, the breast shape is not ideal.
At internal bra with mesh does give some extra support to sagging tissue, especially if the weight of an implant is being added. Stretched out sagging tissue never holds well.
Yes, more tissue can be removed and the excess skin can be trimmed with the inferior incision. Stretched out sagging skin does not hold well over time. Having less weight will be helpful.
