Mastopexy and Augmentation Before Kids?

I lost allot of weight a few years ago the result no breasts, very saggy loose skin. Im 32 went in for few consults to see if im a candidate and indeed i was. All 4 doctors recommended implants too since one has more tissue than the other and droops less, but The question is i want kids in near future if able since I have pcos. some have told me to wait as i would likely need another lift after kids and others disagreed? Im very self conscious. Please advise. Thanks

Breast surgery

The situation with any breast lift is the possibility of recurrence of the sagging as a result of pregnancy or just time. Having breast surgery always has the possibility of requiring further surgery, but that should not discourage you from having the surgery you want. It sounds like you are good candidate. Good luck!

Implants won't lift

Without seeing pictures it is hard to tell. The implant will provide the volume you desire, but the lift would be necessary to reposition the nipple areolar complex. When combining the lift and implant it is best to be conservative in the volume of the implant. The larger the implant, the more potential for stretch of the breast and pocket.
