I am worried that if I do get pregnant later, my breasts would be sag more and that would be more difficult to correct it then. Am I right?
Answer: Breast lift before having children Hi and thanks for your question. It is fair to say that the larger and "saggier" the breasts the more that is required to lift and achieve the "ideal" breasts, however, it is not that much more significant. If you choose to have your breasts lifted before falling pregnant then there are a few things you need to accept:1) they may need to be re shaped once you've finished having children as the huge fluctuations in volume when lactating can continue to stretch the breast skin irreversibly. 2) depending on the extent of the lift required, and in particular how much nipple movement is required, there may be increased difficulties with breast feeding. 3) there is a risk the scars may widen/ stretch if the breasts enlarge significantly. Lots of my patients still opt for a breast lift before having children and are very happy with their choice. Your Specialist Plastic Surgeon will help guide you through this process, you'll be in good hands.

Answer: Breast Lift Before Having Children Thank you for your question. It is not a problem to have a lift now, but you may need another surgery after having children as the breasts do change significantly after pregnancy. I hope this helps!

Answer: Mastopexy occasionally performed in women before starting a family. The occasional young woman may choose to have a breast lift (often times with breast reduction) before having children. The pregnancy, however, may undo some of the aesthetic benefits of the procedure.

Answer: Breast lift before pregnancy Not at all.There are new techniques that enhance the architectural strength of the breast and therefore the longevity of breast lift results.However, the biggest determinants of how a breast reacts to preganancy is how much weight you put on during preganacy, whether you breast feed and for how long, and how many children you breast feed.Your breasts would certainly would not be harder to correct; the operation simply may need to be revised.Best of luck
