Breast enlargement after pregnancy

These patients sought breast enhancement and breast enlargement after having had children. The fact that they had gone through one or more pregnancies usually meant that their breast tissue thickness was diminished and that the potential distensability of their skin and breast tissue was greater. The potential for a more dramatic size increase from placement of breast implants is therefore greater, however the potential to feel the presence of an implant was also greater. Following the approval of silicone breast implants by the FDA for breast augmentation, many women who have had children, or significant weight loss, are now selecting silicone implants at our Beverly Hills plastic surgery facility because of their potentially more "natural" feel and lowered risk for palpability and rippling.

	Patients who have had one or more pregnancies have usually stretched their tissues and consequently their breast enlargement can be more dramatic (if desired). Sometimes however, droopiness of the breasts and nipples requires that a breast uplift procedure be combined with placement of breast implants to achieve an aesthetic improvement at the time of breast enlargement.
