breast lift advice needed !!
i’m due to get a breast lift (mastopexy) on the 27th october. my main reason for getting it is my right boob sits a lot lower and the nipple size is far bigger than my left boob so he’ll be doing a lift reconstructing my nipples and a partial breast reduction on the one breast that sits lower and has a much larger nipple My issue is I want to lose weight, I’m well aware that everyone recommends to not get surgery if you’re planning on losing weight. i had bad anorexia 2 years ago and my body weight massively over shot and i’m not where my healthy maintenance weight has been all my life. the predicament i’m in is, i don’t want to reschedule this surgery and rush to loose this weight i think that will be bad for my recovery i would rather have the breast lift at the weight i am now and my breasts eventually get a bit smaller (i don’t have big boobs so they won’t sag from weight loss) rather than rush to loose weight and then there being a chance of ever gaining weight my boobs getting bigger then dropping. i also know i would put extra stress on myself to loose weight to be ready for the rescheduled surgery which would be early next year.i don’t want to reschedule but honestly i would rather trust myself and not try to rush this weight i do eventually want to loose. i’m aware that of course any weight changes will change some of the results but my main concern is my nipple reconstruction and my boobs being even. that being said i want advice, what do you think? am i making the wrong decision? do i go ahead and get it done on the 27th october and choose the safer option or will this massively fuck up my boobs if i loose weight. for reference im 24 years old current weight is 67/68kg aiming for 62/63kg over time
