Should I Get a Breast Lift if I Plan on Having More Children?

Thank you for the question and picture.

Yes, it is possible to have a breast lift now ( preferably when you have reached a long-term stable weight)  as long as you're well informed and understand the downsides associated with breast lifting surgery.

Issues such as scarring, breast asymmetry, potential loss of sensation, potential innovator breast-feed, and potentially for further surgery should be considered ( as some of the trade-offs of mastopexy surgery). Only after adequately considering the trade-offs can you make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the surgery and/or the appropriate time to have the procedure done.

When the time is right, please make sure you are consulting with well experienced board certified plastic surgeons.

Best wishes.

Dear emmajade18 in South Australia.

There is no one right answer.  This is about lifestyle and self-esteem.  Discuss the options, costs and risks with your Plastic Surgeon.

This is hard to answer. Getting a breast lift now will give you improvement until the time you get pregnant again. After that it is hard to predict the degree of effect the pregnancy will have on your results. Typically, it produces increased stretching and some recurrence of the sagging. So you need to be aware you may need a revision of the lift in the future.
