What Breast Implants look like after pregnancy: What should a person expect?

Question

Do women usually notice a change after pregnancy if they already have breast implants. Generally how much sagging can you expect? Does breast feeding affect implants? Will breast feeding with implants harm a baby? Will not breast feeding help prolong my results? Thanks.

Thank you for your question.You have many questions that simply cannot be predicted as to what breast implants might look like after pregnancy. This is assessed and evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

To be sure, see two or more experienced,
board-certified Plastic Surgeons for a complete evaluation to make sure you are
a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.The response of Breast tissue to pregnancy and lactation is not predictable. The Implants however do not change with pregnancy. There is no evidence that breast feeding with implants will harm the baby. Avoiding Breast feeding may not help with the longevity of the results. All The Best !

The breast implant will not be effected by the pregnancy but the tissue over the implant might suffer, including ptosis, stretch marks, nipple hypertrophy.

Peter J. Capizzi, MD · Answer

Breast change, they lose volume, loss elasticity, gravity exerts its force on the breast mound and therefore breasts do drop over time and with children.  Implants stay in position, unless the crease has been lowered or a subglandular approach has been done.
