I had breast enlargement surgery 15 months ago, I am pregnant again and am wondering if this will ruin my breast implants? I had the implant under the muscle but I am worried I will regain that saggy look again.

Answer: Breast implants and pregnancy Thank you for your question.Pregnancy will not disturb your breast augmentation and will definitely not ruin your breast implants. Millions of women have had breast augmentation surgery with both saline and silicone breast implants prior to having their first pregnancy.That being said - pregnancy can change the shape and volume of your natural breast tissue. Your implants will be fine. Most commonly, women come back after having children requesting a larger implant because they have lost some of the natural volume to their breasts. Another request is for a lift, due to excess skin stretch with pregnancy and breast-feeding.I hope this helps.- Dr. Bryson Richards (Board Certified Las Vegas Plastic Surgeon)

Answer: Possible breast lift Hi there and thank you for this question. Pregnancy will not ruin your breast implants. When someone is pregnant and the breasts become engorged and maybe they breastfeed, there will be anatomical changes which may affect the overall cosmesis of the breasts. After pregnancy, breastfeeding, the breasts can deflate, lose volume and become droopy. It will not affect the implants. There is a strong possibility that you will require a mastopexy or breast lift in order to retain that breast shape again.

Answer: Time, Gravity, and Kids - the 'enemies' of breasts! Pregnancy and Breast feeding definitely have an effect on breasts, and more so if you have implants, because bigger breasts are affected more. The breasts swell and when they go back down (after pregnancy and breast feeding are complete), the skin might not shrink down to the original size, so you might notice more droop.

Answer: Will Pregnancy Ruin my Breast Implants? Thank you for the question. Breast implants do not necessarily change after pregnancy. However, your breasts and skin may change. The changes can be related to skin elasticity and the amount of weight gain/loss around the time of pregnancy. These changes can affect how your breasts look over the top of the implant. Sometime a breast lift may be needed, but it's impossible to know. May woman won't need any surgery after pregnancy.

Answer: Will Pregnancy Ruin Breast Implants? #Pregnancy will not compromise the integrity of the #breastimplants, but it can affect the appearance of the breasts by stretching and shrinking of the breast tissue. Physical changes observed to the appearance, proportion, and fullness of your breasts may potentially necessitate a #breastlift or another #breastaugmentation. For right now, I would focus on enjoying your pregnancy and visit with your plastic surgeon once you begin weaning the baby to determine the most appropriate course of action moving forward. Congratulations!
