Pregnancy and motherhood really have a number effects on a woman's body, especially on her breasts. A women might start out as a B cup and then during the pregnancy grow to a C cup or larger. Following the birth, many women report that their breasts grow even larger as they become engorged with milk. They finally deflate after the body stops lactating.

For a woman who chooses not to breastfeed, this happens shortly after birth, and for a nursing mother this happens after the child is weaned. Whether they breastfeed or not, most women do not appreciate the shape and condition following breastfeeding.

Most complaints concerning the breasts after pregnancy are that they are saggy, limp, and even smaller than they were prior to getting pregnant. There are different levels of sagginess: in some cases, the nipples drop below the crease, in more severe cases the nipples actually point toward the floor.

What are the options for women that are not satisfied with their breasts after pregnancy? If a woman just wants them similar to those she had before pregnancy, a breast lift, otherwise known as a mastopexy, may be the right procedure for her. /? 250610" Larger Breasts After Pregnancy

A breast lift does not enlarge the breasts using prostheses such as implants, but rather gives the bust a youthful perkiness by reducing the size of and repositioning the nipples, removing excess skin, raising the mound of breast tissue, and reshaping the breast. So, do not be under impression that this procedure would giver you larger breasts.

The procedure is generally performed by a plastic surgeon in a hospital setting and the patient is anesthetized by local anesthesia and intravenous sedatives or is put under with general anesthesia. The operation takes between one and three hours and usually requires no hospital stay.

During the surgery, the surgeon usually makes a keyhole shaped incision with a circular cut around the nipple and two lines leading down to the crease. The surgeon then resizes and repositions the nipple higher up on the breast, and removes saggy skin. When the skin is sewn back together, it is tightened and the breast tissue is repositioned higher up on the muscle wall, resulting in a more youthful, firm bust.

Women should wait until they are finished having children and nursing before they undergo mastopexy. The changes to the breast a future pregnancy would bring would negate all the results of a mastopexy. Also, breastfeeding may not be possible after a breast lift. /? 250610" Larger Breasts After Pregnancy
