Question: I have lost over 100 lbs over the last year. My breasts are a mess!! They are just loose skin and my nipples are hidden under the breast fold. I was on the web site www.CosmeticSurgeryAfterWeightLoss.com and I saw some of your work. You perform miracles. I don't plan on loosing any more weight. When do you recommend surgery for massive weight loss patients like me?
Answer: The answer to this question is that it varies from patient to patient. However, for the best surgical results I recommend the patient has been at a stable weight for a good period of time and they don't plan on loosing any more weight. Also, the massive weight loss patient must be evaluated thoroughly prior to surgery to make sure their nutritional levels are good and that they are healthy and strong enough to have an elective procedure. Medical clearance and lab work is done prior to surgery to help with a safe surgical outcome. It is very common for massive weight loss patients to see changes to their breasts following weight loss. After weight loss women's breasts lose shape, fullness, and droop. Because natural breasts are made up fatty tissue once the fat is reduced or loss it dramatically affects the shape and size of the breasts. Often there can be excess hanging skin covering the remaining breast tissue causing an aesthetically unattractive look. I perform cosmetic surgery on weight loss patients on a regular basis and these aesthetic changes can be very rewarding for both the surgeon and the patient. I enjoy helping these women achieve their ultimate goals to look the best they can after all the sacrifices they made to lose weight.
