What Can I Do to Fix my Sagging Breast over my Implant After Having My Baby? (photo)

The only option would be a mastopexy, or implant exchange with mastopexy.  You have skin laxity after pregnancy, and this will not improve without surgery.  Good luck!

Dramatic changes to the breast can occur with pregnancy and breast feeding.  Residual effects can require surgery to restore a pre-pregnancy contour.  Depending on the specifics in your case, details that can only be determined by an in-person consultation, mastopexy (breast lift), with or without implant exchange or other procedures, may be recommended.  Specific recommendations can be discussed with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area.

It looks like the breast has drooped, with the wear & tear of pregnancy and breast feeding.   This can be fixed by performing a breast lift ("mastopexy") to re-center the breast tissue back up where it used to be.  See a qualified plastic surgeon in your neighborhood to discuss this.

Thanks for providing the photos, which clearly show that your breast tissue is sagging down over the implant - this is called "ptosis". Your breast implants don't change with time, but the overlying breast tissue will change with pregnancy and breast feeding. Pregnancy causes the breast tissue to increase in volume, stretching the overlying skin. The volume generally decreases after breast feeding, but often the soft tissues don't spring back to where they were - this leads to the sagging. The good news is that this can be surgically corrected by a procedure called a "mastopexy" (or breast lift). It does involve scars on the breast around the nipple (sometimes even a "lollipop" scar). This procedure aims to put the breast tissue back up onto the chest where it belongs. Talk to your local plastic surgeon for more information. I hope this helps.

From your photos, it appears that you have a classic sign of aging of the breasts "off" the implants. This would require several steps to fully correct your concerns. You need a full breast lift in addition to the possibility of addressing the implant type (change to silicone) and the capsule if needed. Much of this would be determined after a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

You should see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to get a formal opinion through and in-person consultation. 

Best of luck,
