Pregnancy and Breast Implants
Pregnancy and Breast Implants
Breast augmentation is currently the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure in the United States. There are two primary groups of patients who request this surgery. There are women who have always had small breasts and wish to be made larger. And there are women who seek breast augmentation because pregnancy has caused their breasts to lose their fullness. Women in this latter category may also have some sag to their breasts. If the patient has also breast fed, her breasts may have more sag than patients who have bottle fed their babies. In fact, it is not unusual to find that women who have breast fed favoring one breast, end up with asymmetrical breasts and that the favored breast sags more. Readers should not interpret this to mean that they should not breast feed, but rather understand that these are typical situations that Dr. Moss deals with on a daily basis.
