Does weight loss impact your breast reduction results?

Thank you for your questionBreast reduction surgery tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. By removing “excess” breast tissue, adipose tissue, and breast skin this operation reduces and lifts the breasts to a higher position on the chest wall. By doing so, patients often find improvement in neck, back, and shoulder discomfort and find it easier to form their activities of daily living and exercise.
Timing of the operation will depend on the patient's life circumstances. In general (ideally), it is best to do this procedure ( like all other elective body contouring the stages, when patients have reached their long-term stable weights (within 5-10 lbs). Losing weight prior to the procedure will improve the safety of the procedure and minimize the need for further surgery ( in the event of weight gain/loss after the breast reduction procedure). 
Losing weight after surgery (depending on several factors) can potentially change the results.  
  Best wishes.

Weight gains and losses can affect your breasts, but how much will be different for different women, some women will have more fat in their breasts and some more tissue. It is best to try to be at your goal weight before surgery and maintain it after surgery. Good luck.
