I have always had saggy breasts, just like I have always been overweight. I am 18, 5 ft tall and weigh around 263. I am looking to get down to around 120 or less. My bra size is 44C but I believe I could fit into a B because the C is a little big. I want a breast lift but I am nervous about going under anesthesia. I also want to make sure they can lift my breasts since they are very saggy. Any advice? Thanks!

Your breasts can be lifted, but my recommendation is to lose the excess weight first, for two reasons. First, significant. weight reduction will improve your quality of life immeasurably more than breast lift. Second, if you have the mastopexy (breast lift) and then lose the excess weight, your breasts will diminish in size, may even sag again, and the operation may need to be repeated, and you may want implants as well if the breasts get much smaller when you lose weight. You CAN lose the weight, it is all mental, lifestyle, and you need the right help. Choosing the right weight loss plan is like choosing the right surgeon: Your success depends very much upon your selection. Also, no matter what plan you choose, you share responsibility for the result.

Answer: To Lose Weight Before or After Breast Lift
If you have a significant amount of weight to lose, always lose the weight first. Otherwise, you will likely need two breast lift procedures. Good luck with the weight loss.

Answer: Self Conscious about my Saggy Breasts
Hello, Breasts shape can easily change according with significant "gain-lose" weight processes ; my recommendation is to lose the excess weight first, before going under breast Surgery, for a long term results. Under Certified Anesthesiologist you should be fine.
Best Wishes.

Answer: Weight loss and breast surgery
Dear kcb315,
Thanks for submitting your pictures. If you are planning to lose 143 lbs , it will be smarter to do it after you have lost the weight. Otherwise your breast might be too small with too much skin laxity after such a large weight loss. There is a book by the name - 'Sugar busters' . It is required reading by all my patients. It discusses in plane English, the physiology of fat production by the body . It gives recommendation for weight loss by changing the type of food that you should it. It will help you tremendously to lose weight and keep it away for the long term.
Best of luck,
Dr Widder

I agree with the other posts that you should lose the weight first and then fix the breasts or you will need to do the surgery twice. Good Luck!
