| Will Pregnancy Affect the results of Breast Augmentation?: |
| Many women have concerns about how a subsequent pregnancy will affect the results of breast augmentation. Although there is no certain answer to this question, there is usually little change in the result, as most women, augmented or not, see little change, or only mild breast tissue volume loss after pregnancy, but most do not tend to sag. Those women who were borderline for sag, or who had many stretchmarks before breast augmentation, may benefit from a secondary breast lift after pregnancy, but they are also probably the same group that would have needed a combination breast augmentation and breast lift, had they waited until after their pregnancies to seek breast enlargement. In my experience, about 20% of women will need a breast lift with augmentation, whether or not they have had pregnancies before seeking breast enlargement. |
