Possible future pregnancy - Can a lift and areola reduction be done before having kids or is it best to wait?

Question

Hello, I have always wanted to do my breasts. I am so sad of being not confident in my body. Is it possible to do a lift and areola reduction or wait till I finish having kids?

Dear sara189,

it is probably better to finish with pregnancies and breastfeeding and later get breast lift. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes, you can have a breast lift which also includes an areola reduction prior to having children.  You should be aware though that effects of pregnancy can impact your results which could lead to the need for a revision later on. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Pregnancy and especially breast-feeding can change women’s breast significantly.
If your breast are already droopy, then they are most likely going to change significantly with breast-feeding.
The decision is ultimately yours.
If you want to enjoy the outcome of the procedure before you have kids then you should move forward and have the procedure now.
Recognize that your breast may stretch out and you may lose some of the Aesthetic outcome from the procedure from breast-feeding.
 There’s no right or wrong answer for this question.
The decision is yours.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom MD
