I got approved by my insurance to have a breast reduction & now I'm trying to figure out when I should schedule surgery. Obviously I want it done asap for the back pain, but I'm also concerned because I'm in the middle of my weight loss journey. I'm 5'4 and currently 145 lbs & ideally I would like to be around 115. I'm worried about how it would make my breasts look after surgery. Will weight loss cause them to sag more? Are there any other complications associated with this too as I heal?

Certain supplements can interfere with surgery or with your healing. Vitamin E is a mild blood thinner so the concern is issues with bleeding. It may be recommended that certain supplements be stopped prior to surgery but can be started again shortly after. Your surgeon will need to review...
