Q:

I have been overweight for most of my life. I am now beginning to lose weight, but I am not happy with my sagging breasts. Should I wait until I reach my goal for weight loss or have the surgery sooner? I will reach my goal in about 10 months.

A:

My recommendation is to lose as much weight as you can before going ahead with surgery. You can, of course, have your breasts lifted now, but there is a chance that you would need to repeat the procedure after you have attained your final weight loss goal.
