10 May Breast Implants: Before and After Childbirth
Breast implants are most popular amongst women between the ages of 20 and 39, making it during their peak childbearing ages. Because of this, many women considering breast implants from Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery have concerns about how their implants will be affected before and after childbirth. This is a valid concern and one that should be addressed prior to undergoing breast augmentation.
Breast Implants and the Effects of Pregnancy
It’s a given that pregnancy will change your body. One significant change you will experience involves your breasts, as they prepare for breastfeeding. During pregnancy, breasts tend to swell when they become engorged with milk. This changes their size and shape. If you already have breast implants, this alone will not affect them individually. Once you are finished breastfeeding, your breasts will shrink and their volume will decrease. This, however, can change the overall appearance of your breast augmentation due to the change in your natural breast tissue. This isn’t to say, you won’t still be happy with your breast implants following pregnancy, as it varies from woman to woman. Many women remain completely satisfied with the look of their breast implants after having children.
Restore Your Perky Appearance with Revision Breast Augmentation
If for any reason you are not satisfied with the appearance of your breast implants after giving birth, you can elect to have a revision performed by Scottsdale plastic surgeon Dr. Shaun Parson to restore your initial results. A breast lift can help to eliminate any sagging following breastfeeding, as a result of the engorged milk glands stretching the skin. This will give you the perky appearance you had prior to becoming pregnant. Depending, you may even want to change the size of your implants along with a breast lift to restore any lost breast volume or to reshape your breasts.
It’s impossible to know how much your breasts will change with pregnancy. It’s always a good idea to discuss future pregnancy plans with Dr. Parson so, together, you can determine what the best plan of action is for you in regards to your breast implants. Simply put, childbirth will not directly alter your breast implants, but it can possibly change the appearance of them.
