Tags: 7 months post-op, expectation, options, pregnancy

I already have 2 children, then i had my breast enlargement 7 months ago, 410 unders. I was advised not to get pregnant for at least a year. But when i do get pregnant again, once iv had the baby are they likely to sag or get smaller? Or alter in other ways? I have 5 year guarantee my surgeon says hes happy to fix - but how would they be fixed, an uplift? Larger implant to fill them out? Thankyou

Implants post pregnancy

Hi! Thank you for your question. It is difficult to fully predict what changes your breasts will go through following another pregnancy.

Certain factors such as severe weight gain or loss, smoking or tanning can contribute to more sagging. Good luck! Dr. Sam Speron

Some common changes seen with the breasts after pregnancy include " involutional hypoplasia" (breasts become smaller) and/or breast ptosis (" drooping").
