Loose breast skin.: As a plastic surgeon I am often asked this question. After weight loss, breasts often lose volume, but the skin does not shrink to fit. There is no diet, exercise, cream, laser or other treatment that shrinks skin other than surgery. A breast lift can remove excess skin. If you are losing weight, do so first, to see what happens, and consider a consultation once your weight is stable.
