Can weight loss reduce the size of my breasts? Many women notice a change in the volume of their breasts when they lose weight. Breast tissue is primarily composed of fat, which can be lost through diet and physical activity.
However, not all women can expect a significant reduction in breast size through exercise alone, making it an unreliable method for reducing this part of the body.
Reducing the size of your breasts helps you lose weight
Staying active and maintaining a balanced diet is the best way to preserve your health. If you struggle to engage in physical activity comfortably, reducing the volume of your breasts can have a dual effect. It alleviates discomfort caused by your breasts and makes physical exercise feasible.
Will I lose weight after breast reduction?
Yes, you will likely lose some weight after this procedure as you eliminate fat from your body. The amount of weight you lose depends on the amount of tissue removed during the operation. However, you should not expect your surgery to tip the scales. Even the largest breasts weigh only a few kilograms per breast.
One of the most significant benefits of weight loss after breast reduction surgery is that most women feel much more capable of exercising and maintaining their weight post-operation.
It is common for women to lose between 10 and 20 pounds in the months following the surgery.
This weight loss is a combination of being able to engage in physical activity and the motivation that comes from a woman appreciating her new physique.
You’ll look like you’ve lost weight
One of the downsides of having a large bust is that it alters your proportions. Many women with disproportionate breasts feel like they weigh more than they actually do.
One advantage of reducing breast size is that it gives the impression that you’ve lost a lot of weight, even if you haven’t.
This effect is particularly pronounced in women who have a small frame and a large bust. Many women report that others have commented on how they appear thinner and taller after breast reduction surgery.
Even though removing breast tissue won’t make you lose much weight, you’ll likely feel like you have.
Should I lose weight before breast reduction surgery?
If you haven’t reached your target weight, it’s advisable to lose weight before the procedure. If you undergo cosmetic surgery before losing weight, it could impact the results of your surgery. If you lose a significant amount of weight after a reduction operation, you risk having smaller breasts than you desire. This can also lead to changes in skin and overall breast shape.
It’s best to reach and maintain your desired weight for a few months before scheduling breast reduction surgery.
