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: 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.
