Question:

I'm undergoing a breast enlargement next month to regain the fullness I have lost in that area in recent years, but I am contemplating the effect pregnancy may have if that was to occur within the next three years. Will they definitely sag, rendering the operation useless, or does it depend on the individual?

Answer:

The enlargement in breast size can be expected with pregnancy and breast feeding, but when these return to normal the results can vary. In some cases the skin will spring back to the original size and shape, though in some the laxity in the skin can result in the drop in the breast tissue.

The variables will include age with younger tissue being more elastic than older; the degree of increase in size with breast feeding; and the number of pregnancies with more stretch on the skin. The choice to proceed with surgery is a choice for now and consideration needs to be given to the future with the recognition that something may need to be done after pregnancy to restore shape, whether there are implants on not.
