Breast Implants and breast feeding

Question:

Hi I am wanting to get my breast enlarged, but was wondering the effect of being pregnant and breast feeding would have on the end result. I am looking have children in the future but dont want to get the enlargement only to find its better to wait until kids are not on the cards? Thank you

Answer:

With pregnancy and breast feeding there is always an increase in the size of the breast. This will occur in people who do have implants and do not. It is hoped that when the breast feeding is stopped the breast will return to its normal volume. In some cases though the skin has been stretched and there is some drop of the breast after breast feeding. This will occur in cases with and without implants. For people planning breast enlargement prior to children there may be these changes whether there is an implant or not, the decision to go ahead with breast enlargement is really one about the improvement in quality of life now and understanding that with or without the implant it is possible surgery may be needed to restore the shape of the breast after having children.
