I am 28 and the mother of 2 beautiful girls who I tandem nursed for 2 years. I used to be the perfect DD and perky and now nursing has caused them to sag. I am still lactating but am in the weaning process with my 1 year old. I have consulted with my PS regarding lift with aug. He mentioned the mesh internal bra. Is it worth it? What are the pros and cons and is this dumb for me to get a lift if i haven't ruled out having a 3rd child. I want to feel good in my body again and not so selfconscious
Answer: Mesh with lift firstly - agree with the other docs that it is best to complete your family prior to a breast lift/aug otherwise you will probably need a revision after the pregnancysecondly - need to reevaluate 3 months after completion of breast feedingthirdly - I use a mesh (Galaflex these days for non-capsular contracture support) in almost all my lifts with implants. I find that without mesh support the implants cause the breast to sag and with the mesh the implants are held up better. its a bit of a learning curve so most docs are not using mesh routinely. for post capsulectomy support I prefer Strattice

Answer: Is internal mesh worth the extra when having lift/aug? What would happen if I had another child? Ruined? Breastfeeding? Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well.. The breasts may lose their elasticity and firmness which can be caused by different factors such as pregnancy, massive weight loss, lactation and aging. To reaffirm the breasts and restore the natural look your surgeon can perform a mastopexy or breast lift. A breast lift restores a firmer, perkier, and more aesthetically pleasing shape to sagging breasts. This not only can improve a patient’s appearance by restoring her youthful, feminine proportions, but also help bras and swimsuits fit more comfortably and attractively. By removing excess, stretched out skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and raising the nipple & areola into a more forward position, a cosmetic surgeon can create a more youthful breast contour. Stretched, large areolae can also be reduced during breast lift surgery, creating an overall better proportioned, natural looking breast, Actually the perkiness on a person or another, depends on patients skin and breast tissue, hugs!
