It depends on your skin tone and your body’s naturaldistribution of fat. If you tend to put on weight in your breasts, then you runa higher risk of sagging after you lose it. Ideally, breast lift candidatesshould maintain a stable weight after the procedure, but if you’ve already hada breast lift and you’re looking into health and fitness, then your best optionwould just be to take weight loss at a steady and slow pace in order to keep aneye on how your breasts and body respond to the gradual decrease of weight overtime.
Yes, losing weight after your lift, especially that amount of weight, will affect your breasts -- probably causing them to sag a bit. Which is why it is always best to reach a maintainable weight before considering any type of cosmetic surgery. Best, Dr. Nazarian
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
My experience is that after breast lift surgery the nipple areola complex tends to stay put, but weight changes can make the breasts look less full. Certainly, the upper poles can seem to deflate with significant weight loss as you are mentioningTry to be at your typical wight at the time of surgery and you won't need to worry too much about this one.Good Luck!
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.
It would depend upon your skin tone but weight loss or yo yo weight changes can affect the surgical outcome. In an ideal world, stable weight is what we all strive for. If you are planning to lose the weight and maintain the lower weight, then doing so prior to surgery would be preferable.
Weight loss may impact your breast lift because the breasts often have a fatty component to them. Best of luck.
It really won't make a significant difference. So, I'm not sure that it's worth the surgery but only you can decide that. Best, Dr. Nazarian
There is no rhyme or reason why this happens to some patients and not to others and unfortunately, there is nothing to be done preventative other than what you are doing. Best, Dr. Nazarian
I would definitely advise you to wait and heal from the first surgery before having the second round -- at least 3 months. However, if that really isn't an option for you then speak with your surgeons and get their thoughts. The safety of doing this would really depend on your overall health,...
I appreciate your question.The best advice is rather than focusing on scars, focus on the proper procedure to get the best long term results. This can be around the areola, vertical, anchor and non-vertical to name a fewWhen you limit the scars, you limit the procedure and increased your risk...
You could do liposuction of the back at the same time as your breast lift, or reduction, however I dont recommend it you are wanting the best results with the least risks of complications.
I am so sorry that you are experiencing this. Continue to stay in regular contact with your plastic surgeon and follow his or her wound care advice to the letter. This will heal in time. Best, Dr. Nazarian
