Candace2314 117 Posted January 23, 2012 Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has had a breast reduction post op or if you know anyone that has? If so, how were the results, how long did they wait after surgery to have the procedure? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
susnl 17 Posted January 23, 2012 Most posts that I see is for implants not reductions. I know speaking for myself, I have lost most of the girls. I would say wait until you are closer to goal to decide to move forward with a reduction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ILKrista 36 Posted January 24, 2012 There is a plastic surgery forum... you will probably get more advise there. I was considering a reduction before surgery. Now I'm in the market for a lift & potentially some implants. LOL. How things have changed. Also, you might want to check out Obesity Help website. They have a ton of information from people who have had plastic surgery after weightloss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

overboard 5 Posted January 24, 2012 We had a plastic surgeon come to our Bariatric Support Group meeting. He said that people shouldn't have plastic surgery for at least about 18 months after surgery, just to be sure you have lost most of your weight. Then he said breast lifts and reductions are quite common and may be covered by some insurances. He said most people don't need implants to get a lift, they can acheive the lift by cutting away skin.

Candace2314 117 Posted January 24, 2012 Thanks guys for all your answers. I have a consultation on Monday with a plastic surgeon. Im still losing weight but my breast size isn't changing much and they are very heavy. My back has been giving me me hell for the past 2 weeks. My insurance covers the procedure so I guess I will just have to see. I will most likely put the procedure off until I'm under 200lbs. (null) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
