Answer: Optimizing Breast Reduction Results: Advice on Weight Loss Prior to Surgery Hello, Glorious 51990. Thank you for your question regarding whether you need to lose weight first or undergo your breast reduction. For most plastic surgery procedures, most plastic surgeons recommend you lose as much weight as reasonably possible. Currently, your BMI is 26. This is not bad. However, if you can lose more weight, that would be ideal. If you undergo your breast reduction now and lose weight after your surgery, you may lose volume from the breast. Therefore, your breasts might wind up being smaller than you had anticipated. If you lose the weight first, and then have the breast reduction, your breasts stand less of a chance of losing volume with further weight loss. In conclusion, it is always best to lose weight before any plastic surgery procedure. This approach achieves optimal outcomes. Therefore, most plastic surgeons would advise you to lose more weight before your breast reduction. Good luck. I hope I’ve helped answer your question regarding whether you should lose weight before or after your breast reduction. Sincerely, J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FASMBS, FICS Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeon

Answer: Breasts Ideally, we should all lose weight to be at our ideal weight range. If you want insurance to cover your reduction, they will increase the amount of tissue that must be removed according to how much over ideal weight you are.

Answer: Breast Reduction Weight Requirements The most ideal weight situation is one where the patient is classified normal weight for their height. An overweight status is also acceptable. As one's weight increases and they fall into the category of obese, the risk for complications increase. It's best to calculate the body mass index or BMI and figure out what category you fit into. You can easily find a BMI calculator online. With that said, a BMI of 30 or less is reasonable to move forward with a breast reduction. We have performed breast reductions are larger BMI's but it is determined on a case by case evaluation. From the looks of your photo that you provided, you appear to be a good candidate at your current weight.
