There is no doubt that a woman’s breasts go through a lot of changes throughout her nine months of pregnancy. While an expectant mother may plan on her breasts to change during her pregnancy and while nursing, many women fail to realize that these changes can permanently effect the appearance of their breasts. The reality is that your breasts go through a significant amount of change in a very short time period—as such, your breasts may not be able to bounce back to their pre-pregnancy form.
How Have Your Breasts Changed?
Many women find that pregnancy has completely transformed their breasts and that they no longer recognize or feel at one with their newly-changed breasts. To help them feel comfortable and confident with their body, women seek out breast enhancement. As pregnancy can cause the breasts to change in a number of ways, the approach to breast enhancement must be a personalized to a woman’s individual needs.
- Breast Augmentation: After weaning their little one, women are displeased to find that their breasts are deflated of any natural fullness. With the addition of an implant, breast augmentation restores lost volume and add a subtle enhancement. Dr. Austin can use different sized implants to even out breasts that shrunk unevenly.
- Breast Lift: A woman’s skin must stretch to accommodate and support the breast’s natural growth. For women with poor skin elasticity, the skin may not shrink back after pregnancy and can cause the breasts to change shape, hang low, and appear droopy. By removing excess skin and tightening the underlying breast structure, Dr. Austin is able to lift and reshape the breasts.
Did you know that pregnancy can cause your areolas to double in size? During a breast lift, Dr. Austin is able to restore a proportion and shape to both your areola and nipple.
- Breast Reduction: For some women, the fullness of their breasts never subsides. Breast reduction is a popular choice for women who find that the size and weight of their breasts to be bothersome. Like breast augmentation, breast reduction is another way to achieve a balanced silhouette.
Breast enhancement can be very rewarding for mothers who feel at odds with their body. Whether performed alone or as part of a Mommy Makeover, breast enhancement can be what makes a woman feel like herself again.
