Explant for bottom out after breastfeeding?

This is an excellent question as many patients with breast implants are in your same situation. As a breast implant removal surgeon for over 25 years, I often recommend that patients hold off on doing a simultaneous breast lift (mastopexy) at the time of breast implant removal if they are planning future pregnancies and breast feeding. Breast changes during pregnancy and breast feeding may negatively affect the cosmetic outcome of a breast lift. Also, with such large, heavy breast implants, it is often beneficial to allow several months to even one year to allow for fluffing of the breast tissues and retraction of the breast skin BEFORE doing a breast lift.

Thank you for your inquiry! It depends on how much breast tissue you have prior to implants. We would love to meet with you to discuss your concerns. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to help you reach your goals.

Hi. generally speaking, your aesthetic result will depend on how much breast tissue you have, size of implants (which we know), nipple/areola position, etc. It would be best to get a consultation with a plastic surgeon who specializes in breast explants. Until, you are seen in person it is difficult to have a realistic expectation. It is true that a great lift may limit your ability to breast feed in the future. Good luck with your decision.
