Very deflated breasts but want another baby - should I wait? (Photo)

Question

Hi! I am 15 months PP and I stopped breast feeding almost a year ago. My breast are very gummy, wrinkly, and deflated. I did lose a significant amount of weight after having my son. I was a nice 36C before having him and then I was a G when I was breast feeding. They make me very self conscious, but I‘d like another kid in a year or so. I know some people say the implants look more natural after having a kid so I’m wondering if I should do it in between kids or just wait until my second one. Also, how do you even begin to fix these?

I recommend a lift using The Bellesoma Method.  This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.  Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

You will need both a lift along with implants. This can be done one stage or two, performing the lift first and the implants later. Whether to wait until you have your next child that would depend on how soon you plan to get pregnant

Regardless of your future plans my recommendation would be to be to have breast augmentation and, very likely, a breast lift. That will make your life better; if any problem arises after new pregnancies you will address it as needed. You live now. Good luck.

It's not possible to tell from the photo but a lift may be indicated along with an augmentation.  Future pregnancies/breastfeeding could impact your results from surgery.  Because of this you may want to wait until you have completed your family and finished breastfeeding before having surgery.

You have very normal changes after breast feeding and weight loss. You will get best results after finishing having kids.
