BA before having another kid. Okay so I’ve had one child and now I need a breast augmentation not a lift yet. I’m wondering if I decide to have another baby it ruin the look of my breast augmentation?
Answer: Changes of a breast augmentation after pregnancy Not necessarily and it often results in a more natural look. Many patients have a child after a breast augmentation and the shape of the breast afterwards will depend upon how much the breast changes with pregnancy and weight gain and how long nursing occurred. Pregnancy and nursing typically enlarges the breast and stretch the skin which may create stretch marks and decrease the elasticity of the skin. The breast tissue itself often atrophies (shrinks) to a smaller volume after pregnancy compared to the prepartum size coupled with the decrease in elasticity results in a looser skin envelope. This usually results in a more natural tear drop look which doesn't necessarily mean a reoperation. But if the skin is too loose a breast lift or a larger implant (to a degree) may help improve the shape of the breast. A patient that started with a smaller amount of breast tissue (A-B cup) tends to have less of a change with pregnancy compared to a C-D cup breast. The capsule around the implant tends to keep the implant in position, however the breast tissue, if stretched and enlarged, can hang over the implant making the nipple position too low requiring repositioning for a balanced look.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Hi & thanks for your question! It varies with each woman. It shouldn't ruin the look of your breasts, but there is a possibility that you may need a lift at some point. Best wishes!

Answer: Breast Aug after child Hello, While the implant will not change from child birth, the breast tissue and skin around it can. Sometimes it results in a more natural look that women actually prefer. Sometimes it results in a result they do not necessarily appreciate including more sagging or separation. That is not easily predicted. But you definitely can experience changes in the appearance. Christopher J Hussussian, MD

Answer: Breast Augmentation before Pregnancy Breast augmentation is safe prior to pregnancy. In fact, you can even breastfeed in future pregnancies with breast implants with the right incision choice and implant placement. Individual women all respond differently to bodily changes like weight fluctuations and pregnancy, so the effects of another pregnancy on breast implants is difficult to predict!

Answer: Breasts If may or may not. Every pregnancy is somewhat different, but most ladies' breasts react the same way each time unless there is a lot of weight gain.
