I read that women who have had babies would have stretched their skin enough to lose volume, which may be helpful to create a breast pocket during Breast Augmentation. So is it less painful to get a Breast Implant compared to women with no previous pregnancies having tighter skin and small breasts with no volume loss. Is this true?
Answer: Pregnancy and lactation or nursing may effect post op pain following breast enlargement or augmentation I find that many patients who have been pregnant and nursed report that the pain of breast enlargement is quite similar to the discomfort experienced with engorgement. That having been said, the pain may depend more on "over' or "under" placement. If implants are placed OVER the muscle in an individual with a lax skin envelope, they may experience less discomfort when compared to an similar individual who has NOT been pregnant and nursed. However, if the implants are placed UNDER the muscle, the history of pregancy may be less relevant.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Most of the discomfort with breast augmentation or breast implants comes from lifting the muscle to make the pocket. So, the amount of loose skin does not really affect the recovery. If there is too much loose skin, then you may need a mastopexy or breast lift as well as an implant. Some people put the implant just under the skin as a submammary implant and not under the muscle. However, in most people a submuscular (under the muscle) is the best and safest option. These are all great issues to discuss with your surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: No data showing less pain with breast augmentation after pregnancy It makes intuitive sense that having the skin stretched out would be helpful, but that isn't typically the main source of discomfort after breast augmentation. Most of the time it is the muscle, and by far most implants are done under the muscle. However, there are a number of things that can be done to minimize discomfort and it shouldn't last more than a matter of days.
