40 pounds away from goal weight - Will my breasts sag again if I lose weight after I get a breast reduction and lift?

Igbacr
I want to get a breast reduction/lift verysoon because I've been suffering with back and neck pain and PT and epidural shots are not enough. The thing is I am not at my goal weight, I had a baby 9 months ago (no breastfeeding) and I am stuck at 190 lbs. I am 5'8" and my goal weight is 150. I know it is best to lose the weight first then get a reduction but I can't wait anymore.I am currently a 38DDD and I want to get down to a C/D with surgery. Will they sag again if I lose weight after surgery?
