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

As long as you understand that you will likely need a secondary breast lift after future children, I would definately tell you to go for it!  There is no reason that you cannot enjoy perky breasts until you are ready for more children.

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.

If you are unhappy with your breast now and will not get pregnant for 3 years, I would recommend to proceed. Your self esteem and your breast will feel great. With a vertical lift and internal suspension of your breast tissue, you will enjoy a long lasting lift. The pregnancy will grow your breast but they will retract with proper care. The worse case scenario is that you may need a simple touch up at the office to remove some skin from the vertical scar. Remember that you can do it without a horizontal scar. Good luck and enjoy.

Many women choose to have a breast lift because they know it will be several years before they are considering another pregnancy and they want to enjoy the results of an enhanced breast size and shape.     That said its impossible to determine prior to pregnancy and breast feeding just how your breasts will respond.  If you decide to proceed with a  breast lift now and your breast undergo significant changes during pregnancy and breast feeding, you may again be unhappy with the toll its takes on your breasts.  If thats the case then you would require revision breast lift surgery down the track.
