Weight loss after a breast reduction (I'm 5'4 and currently 145 lbs)?

Hello and thank you for your question.
First off, congratulations on your weight loss! If you are wanting to lose additional 30 pounds, I would try to do so before the surgery only because this can change the results of your surgery and breast shape/fullness.
I suggest that you seek an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon specializing in Breast Reduction surgeries to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.
I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz

Dear emmmibird,
generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a breast reduction, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery. 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.
