Weight loss before a breast augmentation

007 · 10-30-2009, 08:56 AM

Dr. Pelletiere:

Thank you so much in taking time to answer all these posts, and thank you for reviewing mine.

I am trying to loose weight before my breast augmentation in March. Would that deter the size of implant due to less weight? I am hoping to go bigger and don't want to cause any problems with this revision.

Thanks again.

It just depends. If you are someone who loses or gains weight in your breasts with weight changes, then it will have an effect on your breasts as well. However, even if you lose weight, you should have excess skin to accomodate the implants size. Going bigger should not be a problem at all.
