I’m in my late 20s and am in the process of losing weight—I’m 15 lbs down and have about 45 to go. I absolutely hate how my breasts look. Weight gain really took a toll on them, and it’s so depressing to see every time I get dressed. I’ve heard you shouldn’t get a breast lift if you still have weight to lose, but is there anything I can do? I can’t stand to look in the mirror.
Answer: Breasts Wait until you have reached your goal weight before considering a lift. Otherwise, it may need to be redone. do remember that pregnancy and breast feeding can also undo a breast lift.

Answer: Regaining perkiness It can be disheartening to see your breasts change after weight loss. However, you’re still young and your breasts may regain a bit of their perkiness after your weight has stabilized. Considering that surgery is a major undertaking, you may want to wait to see if your breasts regain their shape. If they don’t, you can consider a breast lift. Getting a breast lift halfway through your weight loss may not be a good idea since weight fluctuations after surgery can negatively impact your results. While you’re waiting, why not celebrate your weight loss and appreciate the positive impact it’s having on your overall health instead of focusing on the way it’s changing your breasts?

Answer: Bellesoma Method Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size. However, the technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Lose weight first It is best to lose any weight you plan to lose before the surgery. If you have a breast lift and lose 45 more lbs you might need a lift revision to tighten the now redundant skin. Also when you are losing weight you are tearing down tissue which we call a catabolic state. That is not a good foundation for healing a new surgery. This is why we ask massive weight loss patients to plateau their weight loss for 3 months before they have their skin tightening surgery, they will heal better. Good luck.
