I have had 650cc breast implants put in when my breasts were a saggy b cup and i weighed 150 lbs. I went through another preganancy last year and gained 25 lbs. I want to get a lift and implant removal. I want to lose 50 pounds. Should I get the removal and the lift after I lose the weight? In two seperate operations?

Answer: Weight loss before breast lift / explantation
Your plan to lose 50 pounds is admirable. This weight loss will significantly change the size and shape of your breasts. It's best to wait until your weight is stable, so that you and your surgeon can make a plan based on a breast shape & size that has also stabilized.
It may be that you either downsize the implants or remove the implant altogether, and get a lift - this could all be done at the same time.
Best wishes!

Answer: Implant removal and lift after weight loss
If you are planning on losing 50 lbs then lose them prior to an explant mastopexy (implant removal and lift). Don't start smoking and you can certainly have the lift and removal of implants in one operation. Best wishes
