Do other parts of your body gain more fat if you gain weight after breast reduction surgery?

August 31, 2015
Asked By:lite9389 in Chicago, IL

My sister had breast reduction surgery about 2 years ago. Since then, she has put on about 25 pounds. While her breasts have only gotten a little bigger, the majority of the weight seems to be in her stomach, buttocks, back and face. Is this due to the decreased amount of fat cells in her breasts now? Thank You.
