    How Soon After Giving Birth Can I Get Breast Implants?

    How Soon After Giving Birth Can I Get Breast Implants? | Beverly HillsPregnancy often results in a woman feeling dissatisfied with her breasts due to the changes that occur during breastfeeding and being pregnant. Breast augmentation after pregnancy is a common procedure that can help women feel confident in their bodies again. Before undergoing breast augmentation, there are some factors to consider for your safety and the longevity of results. Your surgeon will help you during your consultation to create a timeline for your procedure that is best suited for you. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides breast augmentation to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.

    When Can I Undergo Breast Augmentation?

    During pregnancy, the breasts accumulate fat and begin to lactate, causing them to swell and become enlarged. After you are done nursing, the breasts may appear saggy and deflated. It is suggested that women should wait 3-6 months after they have finished nursing before having breast augmentation. Additionally, if you are looking to lose weight, you should attempt to do so before the procedure, so that the breast size is no longer fluctuating and the results of your surgery are more likely to be reliable and long-lasting.

    Consider Having a Breast Lift

    The breasts look most pleasing when the nipple rests as centered on the breasts as possible. During breast augmentation, your breast implants should lift the nipple. However, if there is too much excess skin on the breasts, the nipples may still sag too low, even with the placement of breast implants. At that time, your surgeon may recommend a breast lift to achieve better-looking results. One way to know if you may benefit from a breast lift is if your nipples currently rest beneath the natural fold below your breasts.

    Schedule a Consultation

    Your surgeon will help you create a timeline for your surgery that will help you have the best outcomes from your breast augmentation. During your consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your goals, whether you will benefit from a breast lift, and when you will be able to undergo the procedure.

    How Long Do Silicone Breast Implants Last?

    How Long Do Silicone Breast Implants Last? | Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery When considering breast augmentation, patients may not realize that their breast implants will need to be removed or replaced after a certain amount of time. Although this may seem like a downside of having breast augmentation, silicone breast implants are made to be long-lasting and actually last anywhere from one to two decades. The eventual removal or replacement of breast implants helps ensure longer-term safety and satisfaction from results. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides silicone breast augmentation to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.

    How to Pick Your Implants

    You will have the opportunity to discuss your goals from breast augmentation with your surgeon during your consultation. You may want to consider bringing photos of your ideal breasts to show your surgeon what you are looking to achieve. Your surgeon will recommend implants of different shapes and sizes to you based on your desired outcomes.

    Silicone Breast Augmentation Procedure

    Breast augmentation is performed as an outpatient procedure while you are under general anesthesia. During surgery, small incisions will be made in concealed areas around the breasts, such as along the areola, near the armpits, or under the natural fold of your breasts. The implants are then placed into the chest, the incisions are sutured closed and surgery is completed.

    Do I Have to Replace My Implants?

    Your breast implants will almost always need to be removed or replaced at least once in your lifetime. Urgent reasons to have your implants removed or replaced are if your implant ruptures, or if a capsular contracture occurs. Capsular contracture is a condition in which the scar tissue around your implant hardens, constricts the implants, and causes pain and deformity. If your implant begins to show signs of rippling on the surface of the skin, you may want them removed or replaced. If you do not have these experiences with your implants and they remain durable, it is likely that over time your breasts will naturally begin to sag with age and need to be re-augmented to remain aesthetically pleasing with the use of breast implants.Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides silicone breast augmentation to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
