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!

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

Answer: Breast lift and weight loss
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!
