Breast lift only - how long should I wait?



Recommended Posts

My goal since the beginning of this was to get a breast lift (no implants, just a lift). My starting weight was 206 and I'm down to 150 right now. I'm 5'2" and 28 years old if that matters. A healthy weight for me is 136 (on the higher end) but I would like to get to 125....but I also know my body is quite comfy at 130. Anyhow, should I wait until I completely get to goal to do the lift or is it ok to do it a little earlier? I don't want my boobs messed up AFTER the surgery is over! But I'm also anxious to get it done. :)

I would wait until your weight is stabilized so you know where you are starting from.

You don't want to lift them, then lose more weight and have them change, then have to lift them again!

If you plan on having children in the future I would wait till after thats all done because getting pregnant can mess them up. If your all done I would wait till you get to goal because you want them as firm and lifted as possible. Also You wanna make sure all the access skin gets removed. Congrats your almost there :)

I agree with mariamitani. Wait til you stabilize on your weight loss, or are done having babies.

Oh durn....I don't plan on having kids for a few years. But I really don't wanna wait til my late 30s to get my lift done! :( I may just do it once I hit goal, and after kids if I need another one I'll do it again! Hahaha

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
