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 lift with implants before kids

If you are self conscious about the way you look now, I would not wait on having the breast lift with implants. You may have to have a second lift after your children but that can easily be done and you shouldn't have to live self conscious waiting to be done with children. Good luck. see video

Breast Lift and Augmentation Before or After Pregnancy

If you are planning to become pregnant in the near future, then you should delay the surgery. If the breasts are a source of concern for you and you are not going to become pregnant in the near future then proceed with surgery.

Lift before implants

Hi Cupcake225, Many women undergo mastopexy before having children. Your breasts will go through their normal changes that occur during pregnancy and breast feeding regardless whether you had surgery or not. Keep in mind that you may want to undergo some kind of revision after childbearing in the event the changes were significant. Regarding your asymmetry, it is difficult to comment without seeing you, however, I question the... more

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. This could lead to malpostion and asymmetry.Just because you have surgery prior to having children doesn't mean that you will be obligated to futher... more

Mastopexy and Augmentation Before Kids?

There are many patients who get an augmentation with or without mastopexy and then later get pregnant. It is impossible to predict what kind of reaction your breasts will have to pregnancy and post delivery changes. You should see a board certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options and make a realistic decision about have the procedure and possible effects that may or may not need revision after child birth.
