Will my breasts change much if I lose 20 pounds? (Photo)

Question

Sorry, I know I ask a lot of questions. I hate calling my surgeon with a bunch of questions. Lol Anyhow, I'm 3 months post op and I'm starting to diet. I want to lose about 20 pounds. Will my breast sag or deflate if I lose that much weight? Adding pics of my breast now.

Hi! Thank you for your question. We tell patient's that weight loss is global. That means that a 20lbs loss will be distributed throughout your body. Everyone is different in where they carry their weight and fat. Long answer short, yes you may notice a size decrease, how much- no one can tell you. Good Luck!

Bruce K. Smith, MD · Answer

Every patient is different in how weight gain and weight loss will affect the breast size. I see this demonstrated in the patients that lose a massive amount of weight, usually after gastric bypass or gastric sleeve procedures. Sometimes the volume of the breast is maintained after losses greater than 100 lbs. and require further reduction; sometimes the breasts severely deflate and require implants and mastopexy to restore. Your physiology is unique and you will only know after the weight loss. Good luck to you.
