I'm 26 and have wanted a breast lift since I was 14. I have been sedentary from a chronic illness, and as I'm slowly reconditioning (think I can lose 25lbs), I no longer feel confident that I'd reach my previous "goal weight" for years (-45lbs). As I would be elated to have uplifted breasts, and given that I have squidward level ptosis, if I lost 15-20lbs after getting a breast lift, would my breast sag occur in a more "normal" way rather than in the tuberous downward shape I currently have?
Answer: 10% or more weight loss could make everything smaller and possibly droopier When you lose weight, it not only reduces the size of your waist and thighs, but it might also reduce the size of your breasts –sometimes dramatically – leaving you with saggy breasts and stretched skin. If you are planning to lose 10 percent or more of your body weight, it makes sense to wait until you have reached your goal before you surgery, in order to know your true starting size.

Answer: Would weight loss after breast lift to correct grade 3 ptosis result in "perky sagging"? If your breasts are composed of a lot of fatty tissue, your breast size will fluctuate with weight gain or loss. Think back to when you lost or gained weight in the past. Did the weight loss affect your breast size and volume? I always recommend that patients be at a maintainable weight before getting cosmetic surgery but I realize that you cannot achieve a goal of 45 lb weight loss before having the breast lift.

Answer: Bellesoma Lift Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size. However, the technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. If weight is lost or gained, you will lose or gain volume but not sag.

Answer: Sagging It would be best to achieve the weight loss you want prior to the breast lift. Then, hopefully, you will maintain your lift.

Answer: Longevity of breast lift Breast lift longevity depends of many things like breast size, skin elasticity/support, quality of breast tissue (harder breast tissue, longer result), weight oscillations, etc. Without in person evaluation and discussion about available options would be hard to give you a meaningful advise. In person consultation is recommended. Good luck.

Answer: Would weight loss after breast lift to correct grade 3 ptosis result in "perky sagging"? The answer to your question really depends on how much your breast volume changes with weight loss/gain. some women experience significant changes in their breast volume with fluctuations in their weight while others don't have much change in their breast size with weight fluctuations. If your breast size tends to change with weight gain/loss, you should delay your surgery until you are at a stable weight that you know you can maintain. If you have the surgery, then lose more weight, your breasts will get smaller and will lose a lot of their perkiness because you tend to lose volume in the upper breast. Alternatively, if your breast size doesn't fluctuate with weight change, you may not change much if you have the surgery now, then lose weight later, but there is no guarantee.
