Losing weight after breast reduction?

cassafrass199Jul 28, 2016
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.

The size of your breasts can be reduced to make them more proportionate for your body and to reduce any pain that they cause. Your procedure can be done with liposuction and/or excision. In some cases, breast reduction can be covered by insurance. After the surgery, you’ll feel lighter and w...
