Breast Augmentation, Pregnancy and Breast Feeding

Carmel, Fishers, and Indianapolis, Indiana

When a woman becomes pregnant, her breasts enlarge to varying degrees. Breast engorgement occurs with lactation. Whether a woman has had prior breast augmentation, these physical changes will still develop. With breast-feeding, mastitis or low grade breast infection may occur which can spread to the area around the breast implant. This may produce capsular contracture and for this reason breast-feeding is not advisable. Breast enlargement with pregnancy may cause skin stretching with striae formation and or breast ptosis. These changes are not predictable and may happen in one patient and not another. Hereditary factors, weight gain, previous pregnancy are all contributing factors. Following pregnancy, it is common practice to wait at lease three months to allow breast involution before proceeding with breast augmentation. This assumes a woman has not been breast-feeding her infant.
