If I'm overweight, is it better to lose weight before a breast reduction?

Thank you for the question.

Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery; it is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform.

Yes, it would be in your best interest to lose weight prior to surgery. This will give you the best chances of NOT  needing further surgery ( in the event of weight loss after the procedure is performed).

Best wishes.

 

Absolutely! Lose the weight first for your overall health. If you lose the weight after breast reduction, you could expereince and undesireable loss of breast volume and shape.
