Do breast implants always sag after pregnancy?

M
moyacaitlin7Feb 23, 2023

Im 25 and Ive been wanting a BA since my teens. I dont plan on having children immediately after my BA, but Im wondering if they always look bad or need to be immediately redone after pregnancy? Does this vary from person to person? I dont mind getting a lift in the future but I definitely want them done now and have been shopping around for years.

Hi & thanks for your question! Schedule an appointment with your surgeon's office. Try on different sized implants to see what look you like best. The office staff should be able to help you out with this and offer you guidance. Best wishes!

Thanks for your question. It is difficult to provide a proper evaluation without side pictures. I recommend scheduling a consult for a proper evaluation. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

Please see your surgeon for an in-person assessment. They can let you know if you do in fact have capsular contracture. It is difficult to say based on your photos alone.

Breast implants provide volume but very little actual lift. To achieve the appearance you desire would require another lift, in addition to implants.
