Very deflated breasts but want another baby - should I wait? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. Your breasts seem wrinkled, deflated, and have lost volume after pregnancy and breastfeeding. The best way to restore their shape and fullness would be a breast lift and augmentation. This would tighten loose skin, reposition the nipples, and add volume for a more youthful contour. However, since you’re planning to have another child in about a year, it’s usually best to wait until you’re done having children before this surgery because pregnancy and breastfeeding can stretch the skin and affect the results. In the meantime, supportive bras can help improve comfort and appearance until you’re ready for your final procedure.

The results of cosmetic breast surgery can be negatively impacted by pregnancy and breastfeeding. For longer lasting, predictable results, it is recommended that cosmetic breast surgery is performed after you’ve stopped planning to have children.

Hi. You should definitely wait until after having all of your children to do this surgery. If you do it now, then likely it will need to be fixed if you have a child afterwards. Hope that helps!

Dear Thoughtful175783,

if you are planning another baby then it is probably best to wait so you don't need another surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Your photos suggest you may benefit from augmentation and a lift. As this condition may recur after another pregnancy you may want to defer this until then.
