MOMMY MAKEOVER, SESSION III: ADDRESSING THE BREASTS
The Number One Issue That Moms Hate About their Post-Baby Bodies
Over the past couple months, we have introduced you to the mommy makeover and helped you along with deciding if the procedure is right for you. Today, we will be going over one of the more common problems that occurs after pregnancy. “Why on earth do my breasts end up sagging?”
An Answer to Sagging or “Deflated” Breasts
Probably one of the most common complaints women have about their post-baby bodies is the lack of volume or shape that often leaves the breasts looking deflated or saggy. Unfortunately, this happens to the majority of moms and will typically set in once nursing is complete. During pregnancy, hormonal changes cause the breasts to grow and become engorged, tightening the skin around them for an especially perky appearance. While many women enjoy this little boost for the time being, once lactation stops, all the breast tissue automatically reverts to their natural size leaving the skin loose. With each and every woman recovering differently from their mommy makeover, no two procedures are the same. While some women may be struggling with more hanging skin around the belly, others may want to focus more on breast sagging that occurs after giving birth. This is why a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is important for finding the ideal set of procedures for what you are looking to address. When it comes to your breasts, your mommy makeover will include a procedure like a breast lift in order to restore your breasts to their pre-baby shape and position. A breast augmentation can also be added to solve any deflation that a women may be concerned with about her breasts after pregnancy.
