If I lose weight after my breast reduction, a significant amount like 60-70 lbs, will my newly reduced breasts lose their shape?

I may lose the weight the natural way or by gastric bypass. Will my breasts look funny after? Less firm or mishapen? I am having the breast reduction first (for now) because I got approved so quickly. I don't know if I have the choice to lose the weight first. I will be going from a 40DDD to a D so to speak. I am 5'3" and currently weight 195 lbs. I have severe back problems so losing it naturally may not be an option. I just want to know how they'll look. Thanks!
