Will losing a 10-15 pounds after a breast lift affect results ?

Thank you for your question.  Weight loss can affect the breasts, causing them to sag even after a breast lift.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

One way to judge this is to see whether weight loss affects your breasts. Large breasts can have a large fatty or a predominantly glandular component. Fatty breasts will usually be more sensitive to weight loss. It is best to be close to your ideal weight before surgery but unfortunately large breasts make it difficult to exercise and affect your sense of well being. The physical and psychological benefits of a breast reduction usually result in women losing significant weight after surgery and acquiring a whole new body and body image. My advice is that if you can lose the weight, go ahead. If not, have a breast reduction anyway because the benefits generally outweighs the potential downside. Lastly, 10-15 lbs is not that big a weight loss!make sure you consult with a Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Good luck.
