I am having a breast reduction in 7 days. Before the surgery I was planning on being my goal weight. I don't plan on loosing too much weight, I am 5'1 and 117. My goal weight is between 105-110. I'm an asymmetrical C cup going down to I hope a smaller B. My biggest worry is that they are going to be saggy when I reach my goal weight. I did think about waiting until I reached my goal weight but I am turning 21 soon and I'm tired of my asymmetrical chest getting in the way. Thanks for your time.

My patients are allowed to resume activities at 3 weeks with a snug, supportive sport bra. But you should always check with your surgeon as his/her recommendations should rule!
If you can find out which method your previous surgeon used, then the procedure can be repeated quite quickly, if you are sure that is what you wish.If you are unsure about the method then I would wait at least a year, to allow the blood supply to re-establish itself, and make the surgery...
There are no standards as to what kind of bra you should wear post op but many patients feel much more comfortable with a bra without underwires which might affect the scars
