To Chandelle – you will be better off getting at least close to your ideal weight before having surgery, for a variety of reasons. One being that you’ll have a better idea of your actual breast size at a healthy weight. I’ve had breast reduction surgery and can personally attest to this. Other reason being that any type of surgery is riskier when your weight is a lot higher than what’s healthy. Good luck! The recovery is not too bad but listen when they tell you to take it easy – it will minimize scarring.
