I am a 42J, 5’4, 180 pounds, 22 yeard old, and planning to have a breast reduction. I am in the process of losing weight before surgery. Will my breasts sag after my surgery with more weight loss? Let’s say I get down to 150/160 pounds before the surgery, and then lose an additional 20/30 after the surgery. Will this make my breasts more saggy? They are already very saggy right now.

Answer: Breast Reduction and Weight Loss?
Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery; it is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform.
Timing of the operation will depend on the patient's life circumstances. In general, it is best to do this procedure ( like all other elective body contouring the stages, when patients have reached their long-term stable weights. In doing so, improve the safety of the procedure and minimizes the need for further surgery ( in the event of weight gain/loss after the breast reduction procedure).
Best wishes.

Answer: Will my Breast Reduction result suffer if I lose weight? Hi there- While I do think that good, modern techniques applied by an experienced breast reduction surgeon will produce a better, longer lasting result, even if you do lose weight, I also think that the result would be best and longest lasting if you waited to have your surgery until you have achieved your goal weight and have been stable at that weight for at least a few months. Even with the very best technique, significant weight loss will result in a detrimental change in the shape of the breasts, especially in a patient who was previously heavier, as this weight gain and loss cycle will undoubtedly have cost you a bit of skin elasticity. I hope that helps!
