Will getting a BBL make my heavy breast worse?

Question

I’m getting a bbl in a couple of months, but I have been having breast pain, along with back pain. I honestly don’t know if it’s because my boobs are too heavy or other underlying problems. (I have appt today to find out) but my question is: "if I get my bbl done before my boobs will this cause tension in my back because my boobs are too big?”. They also hang really low and my tissue does not sit in my chest cavity anymore).

Breast reduction surgery is one of the most patient pleasing plastic surgery procedures. Breast reduction surgery will also help to reshape your breast. Very large breasts have the natural tendency to sag or hang low, so breast reduction surgery will lift them up and help them look perkier under tight clothing. A BBL will not make your heavy breasts worse; you probably need to have the breast reduction before the BBL because of your breast and back pain.

Hello and thank you for your question. The bbl itself should not have an effect on your back pain. If your back pain is related to the size of your breasts, then breast reduction surgery could really help with your symptoms. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD.

BBL procedure will not improve or worsen the back tension you are experiencing, nor will it improve it.   BBL procedure does not affect your breast size, droopiness, or heaviness.  You may need to consider having breast reduction and lift as another procedure in the future that will alleviate your back pain symptoms.

Dear jane4697,
BBL should have no effect on your breasts and pain you have. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
The BBL should not affect your breast. Unfortunately, without pictures, it is very difficult to give you a proper answer. 
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)
