I am 10 days Post Op, and I have lost 5 lbs. I would like to lose 5 to 10 more pounds, and I was told by my Dr. before my surgery that if I lose weight after my surgery, that I would lose the lift that I got with the surgery.
Answer: Weight loss after breast reduction. In my opinion, if you lose 5 to 10 pounds that should not significantly change your results.

Answer: Lose weight after breast reduction It is unlikely you will lose that much shape with 5 to 10 pound weight loss. It all depends on how your body sheds the excess weight. You might lose it all in your breast or partly from your breasts. Each woman is different. Your breasts will change with age, pregnancy and genetics and if you need further treatment this can be addressed later but I would not worry about it now.

Answer: The Effect of Weight Loss After Surgery Hi, This is a fairly common question. Generally speaking, a 5 pound weight loss (or gain) will not make a difference in the outcome of your surgery. When the weight change creeps up to 10 or more pounds we may start to see a difference. I would suspect that some of your weight loss is related to the reduction in the breast so you should be fine with another 5 pounds. I hope this helps. Dr Bev

Answer: Weight lose They say for every 20 pounds in body weight loss there is a pound in breast but everyone is different. I have some patients that say their breasts never decrease in size with weight loss. That said obviously weight loss after surgery may adversely affect any result and that is why I advise patients to lose weight before surgeryDr Corbin
