Breast Augmentation
I am 51 and 3 months post op, I have lost 62 lbs. I live in the Kenosha area and I am looking for a plastic surgeon to do a breast lift. First I would like to know if anyone knows a good surgeon in the area ? Second, would anyone know if it would be wiser to wait until I reach goal or could I have it done now ? Any comments or opinions on this would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Christine,
You should wait till you get close to goal. Your body will change significantly over the next year.
I had my surgery May 19, 2003. I have lost 105 pounds. I was very big busted and am shrinking pretty fast. I have tons of wrinkles and my breast just disappear when I lay on my back. I need a tummy tuck and breast lift. Doctors prefer to do the tummy tuck first as this makes a huge impact on how your breasts look. They typically do the breast lift or what have you, last.
I would wait if I was you. Don't pu**** you are still recovering from the bypass. It takes 3 months for your tummy to heal inside. Relax and enjoy the rollercoaster down!

Christine,
Most plastic surgeons won't even consider surgery for at least one year post op. ( I am not sure I would consider a surgeon that would do it at 3 months) You definately want to be at your goal weight before surgery. This will give you a better idea of what surgeries you want or need worst. It will also give you more time to document reasons to have insurance pay for it.
GOOD LUCK
