Post-Pregnancy Breast Solutions: Understanding Your Options

Pregnancy may be a blessing, but the impact on your body, especially your breasts, can be dramatic.

For women concerned with breast changes after pregnancy, Dr. David Bray, Jr. provides a range of breast surgeries, including breast lift and breast augmentation, to help you reclaim your pre-pregnancy shape.

These procedures can restore volume, address sagging, and give you a renewed sense of confidence.

Common Breast Concerns After Pregnancy

After pregnancy and breastfeeding, many women notice changes in their breast appearance. These changes often include:

  • Loss of Volume: Breasts may appear deflated after pregnancy due to reduction in breast tissue. This can make them look smaller or less full. Volume loss may occur in women who breastfed their babies.
  • Sagging or Drooping: Stretching of the skin and ligaments can lead to a noticeable drop in breast position.
  • Asymmetry: Hormonal fluctuations and changes in breast size during breastfeeding can leave your breasts uneven in size or shape.

Breast surgeries like breast lift and breast augmentation can address these concerns and help you get your pre-pregnancy confidence back.

Breast Lift vs. Breast Augmentation: Which is Right for You?

Breast lifts and augmentation are two procedures that are popular among moms. Here’s how they differ:

Breast Lift

A breast lift focuses on reshaping and elevating sagging breasts for a youthful appearance. It’s ideal if you’re happy with your breast size but want a perkier appearance. A breast lift doesn’t increase breast fullness or overall size. You could lose a small amount of volume in a breast lift.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation increases breast size using implants. If you feel that your breasts look empty or deflated after pregnancy and breastfeeding, an augmentation could be a great option. However, breast augmentation doesn’t affect the position of your breasts.

Combination Surgery

Many women opt for a combined breast lift and augmentation to achieve both lift and volume. With both surgeries at once, you only have one recovery period, so it may be easier to fit into your busy schedule than two separate surgeries.  In addition, many women have breast lift and augmentation as part of a mommy makeover.
