I am considering breast implants (34A) and have not had children yet. Do breast implants change size (decrease or increase) after breastfeeding? Would it be better to have the implants after pregnancy and breastfeeding? I noticed some ladies said they were naturally a C then breastfed and went down to an A?
Answer: What happens to breast implants after pregnancy and breast feeding HI,Breast implants do not change size after pregnancy or breast feeding, but breasts do! Ideally the best time to get implants is after you are done with having children because then you can count of the size and shape of the breast remaining relatively constant.All my best,Daniel Medalie, MD

Answer: Breast implants after pregnancy The size of the implants will not change during and after your pregnancy, but your own breast tissue will. The extent to which they increase during pregnancy and then decrease afterwards is quite variable among women. If you have plans to have children in the next year or two, I would recommend waiting to have your implants placed. But if your plans are a bit further down the road, having the procedure now would be reasonable. Many patients have children after they have breast augmentation and the results of the surgery are not always negatively affected.

Answer: Breast implants and breast feeding Your implants will not change in size. The breast tissue can change with pregnancy and/or breast feeding. The changes are not predictable and, for many, are not permanent. Many of our patients have gone on to have children and breast fed after augmentation with no significant change in the appearance if their breasts. Others have noticed ptosis after this experience which could be corrected with a breast lift (mastopexy). If pregnancy is anticipated soon, one might wish to wait on surgery. I would not, however, discourage someone from augmentation re- distant plans for childbearing as the effects are usually minimal and can be remedied as needed

Answer: Do breast implants change size after breastfeeding? Yes, breasts to tend to change during and after pregnancy. Often, patients will experience “involutional hypoplasia”; a process where the breasts becomes smaller in size. Women also notice that the breasts may change in position on the chest wall ( “sag”). For this reason, when I see patients in consultation for breast surgery, I recommend that they postpone having the breast surgery, if they are planning on pregnancies in the near future.I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Answer: Do breast implants change size after breastfeeding? Breast implants do not change in size after breastfeeding, it's your own breast that changes. You may lose some of your own breast tissue and your skin may not bounce back. If you are planning on having kids in the near future (next couple of years), then wait but if kids are not in your immediate future, then go ahead and have your procedure and enjoy them now. ac
