I apologize for asking numerous questions. I feel hesitant to contact my surgeon with multiple inquiries. At 3 months post-op, I am starting a diet to lose about 20 pounds. Will my breasts sag or lose volume if I lose that amount of weight? I have attached pictures of my current breasts for reference.
Every patient's experience with weight gain and weight loss differs when it comes to its impact on breast size. This is particularly evident in patients who undergo significant weight loss after procedures like gastric bypass or gastric sleeve surgery. Some individuals may maintain breast volume after losing over 100 lbs and require further reduction, while others may experience significant deflation and require implants and mastopexy for restoration. Your unique physiology will determine the outcome, and you will only know the effect of weight loss on your breasts once it occurs. Best of luck to you.
Hello! Thank you for your question. We usually advise patients that weight loss has a global effect on the body, meaning that a 20-pound loss will be distributed throughout various areas. Everyone's body is different, and fat distribution varies. While it is possible to notice a decrease in size, it is difficult to predict the extent of the change. Best of luck on your journey!
