Will Losing Weight Provide a Natural Breast Reduction?

Although losing weight can certainly help improve body proportions and mitigate some of the symptoms caused by overly large, heavy breasts, dieting and exercise are not enough to simulate the quality of results provided by breast reduction. Losing weight does not remove the glandular breast tissue causing an excessive breast size, nor does the procedure address loose, sagging skin making the breasts droop. With that in mind, weight loss alone is not necessarily an effective method of reducing your breast size. 

The reason why so many people opt for breast reduction is due to the procedure’s ability to comprehensively address the skin, fat, and glandular tissue of the breasts. Unlike natural remedies such as dieting and exercise, a breast reduction can aesthetically: 

• Remove excess breast tissue causing an overly large or heavy breast size
• Tighten loose, excess skin resulting in ptosis (breast sagging)
• Get rid of excess fat contributing to large breasts
• Reduce (or even eliminate) the symptoms of a dominant breast size, such as shoulder and back pain, skin chafing, difficulty exercising, shoulder “grooving,” etc.

Best of all, the procedure achieves lifelong results — particularly when patients maintain a stable weight and practice an active lifestyle. For this reason, breast reduction is regarded as one of the most life-changing and rewarding procedures available. 

While losing weight may not be an effective alternative to breast reduction, dieting and exercise can still help enhance mobility and maximize the results of your breast surgery. In most cases, the outcome can be improved when patients are at or near their ideal weight range.
