Pregnancy and breastfeeding showcase the strength, beauty, and function of a woman’s body, but they can also wreak havoc on that same body. One of the places where women notice the most change is in their breasts. Once perky and full, postpartum breasts can end up drooping, deflated, or asymmetrical. In this blog, we’ll discuss your options for restoring your breasts to their pre-pregnancy glory.
Reasons to Get Breast Surgery After Pregnancy
There are a variety of reasons women choose to undergo breast surgery after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Whether you’ve had one baby or several, the changes to the shape of your body (especially your breasts) can affect your confidence. Getting breast augmentation, a breast lift, breast reduction, or breast revision surgery can:
- Restore volume to breasts that appear deflated
- Elevate sagging breasts to a more youthful position
- Eliminate excess skin on your breasts
- Improve the appearance of an enlarged or stretched areola
No matter what your reasons for choosing to undergo a cosmetic breast procedure after pregnancy, Dr. Morales offers a procedure that will give you the gorgeous results you desire.
Breast Augmentation
Gaining weight in your breasts during pregnancy is normal, and some women enjoy their newly curvy contour. If you breastfeed your baby, your breasts will remain larger until you stop breastfeeding and your milk production stops. In many cases, not only do your breasts get smaller once this happens, but they may have a flat or deflated appearance.
Breast augmentation can give you back your pre-baby breasts (or even provide a bit more volume). Silicone or saline implants will fill and shape post-baby breasts, balancing your curves and making you feel more confident in your skin.
Breast Lift
When you are pregnant, your breasts tend to get larger due to developing milk ducts and overall weight gain. However, once you’ve lost your pregnancy weight, you may be left with excess skin that causes your breasts to sit lower on your chest than you’d like. You may also notice that your areolas look larger or less symmetrical than they did before and that your nipples point downward.
A breast lift removes excess skin on your breasts and lifts them back up to the correct position on your chest. It also restores symmetry to enlarged areolas and repositions your nipples. Breast lift surgery results in firmer, shapelier breasts that complement your feminine contour.
Breast Reduction
Prior to pregnancy, you may have loved the size and shape of your breasts. However, once you’ve gone through the hormonal and weight changes of pregnancy, your breasts might not go back to their original size.
If your post-pregnancy breasts are larger than you’d like, a breast reduction can help. Breast reduction surgery removes excess tissue so you can enjoy a more balanced body contour. It also shapes and lifts your breasts, giving your newly smaller breasts a bit of a boost.
Breast Revision
If you’re one of many women who got breast augmentation or a breast reduction before having a baby, you may notice that your results are affected by the changes in your weight and body shape. Breast revision surgery can address these issues, lifting, shaping, or changing the size of your breasts to ensure that you’re thrilled with your curves.
