I am fixing to go get a breast reduction and was wondering if it will also help me lose weight as well?

Maybe: If the reduction allows you to be more active and exercise, then yes. The surgery itself does not reduce much weight.

Basically NO!: Yes, you will be lighter by several lbs but the bmi will not change much if at all.

Perhaps: Most women will experience a decrease in breast volume with weight loss. The amount is variable and depends upon how much breast gland tissue and breast fatty tissue you have. I tell my patients that want to both lose weight and have a breast reduction to wait for the surgery until the weight loss has been completed. This prevents the breasts from sagging excessively after you lose weight.

Yes and No: Breast reduction surgery itself will not lead to significant weight loss. However, many patients state that they are able to increase their activity level and exercise “better” after breast reduction surgery. Generally, this operation tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations performed (both from the physical and psychosocial standpoints).
