    hi guys, its my first post here. i was just wondering did anyone else have to loose weight to get their surgery done? i have just had a phone call that i will need to get my BMI down before i could do the surgery

    My surgeon advised that it was wise to lose weight before surgery but if I was adamant that I wanted it done regardless then I didn’t have to…. In fact now I’ve had my surgery I’m more motivated than ever to lose weight and be healthy! I think it depends on whether your breasts contain fat tissue or not, mine were all glandular tissue so even if I lost weight my boobs wouldn’t get any smaller, whereas fat tissue can be lost through diet and exercise. May depend on the surgeon though, at a different clinic I was told to lose weight first but then went to MYA … Hope this helps! Xx

    Same as Rebekah. I was told I would benefit from losing a little weight as my BMI was a little higher than it should be. However I didn’t lose anything and it made no difference. I’ve lost weight since my op x
