Mom of 2 kids. I want to improve my breasts and nipples so I am looking into Breast Fat Transfer, Nipple reduction (diameter and protrusion) My question is what will be the effect of having a pregnancy and breastfeeding a few years after surgery? Will the lipo from fat graft be uneven or lumpy? Will the fat graft to my breast expand and deflate and become flat again because of hormones? And will my nipple enlarge and protrude again from breastfeeding?
Answer: Fat Hormones will change more your breast tissue that makes milk than the fat transfer. Your nipples might enlarge with pregnancy. If you gain weight, the fat will increase in size.

Answer: Will pregnancy + breastfeeding affect breast fat transfer & nipple reduction? Hello @Powerful487894 thank you for your question. With pregnancy and breastfeeding the breasts change because there is a hormonal change that produces changes in the body's glandular tissue. It is not possible to anticipate the changes that the breasts will have after pregnancy, you would have to wait 6 months after breastfeeding to make the corresponding revision. If you are interested in having surgery, it is best to consult one or more board certified plastic surgeons to get more information and options tailored specifically to your situation. Best wishes!

Answer: Fat transfer Dear Powerful487894, it is hard to predict how will your breasts change during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There is a chance that you will need revision surgery. 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.
