Breast implants can rarely cause stretch marks

The vast majority of patients do not get stretch marks after breast augmentation.  That being said, in rare circumstances, I have seen stretch marks develop after breast augmentation.  The risk factors are patients with pre-existing stretch marks elsewhere in their body and very large implants that stretch the skin envelope beyond its normal capacity.  

I have seen 2 patients develop mild stretch marks which were cosmetically acceptable.  Neither patient regretted having had breast implants placed.

Hope this helps.  Best of luck.

The skin has a limited ability to accommodate or stretch. If it is stretched too much, too fast, stretch marks will result. So it is not really the implants causing stretch marks, but rather choosing implants that are too large for your body to accept.

There is no way to guarantee how your skin will react to being stretched, so it is a bit of a gamble. That being said, "reasonable" augmentations generally do not result in stretch marks, but if you are trying to go "really full", then there is a risk.

I hope that helps.
