Breast Augmentation or Breast Lift: Which Is Best After Pregnancy?

Woman breastfeeding her baby, needing breast augmentation or breast lift after Pregnancy and breastfeeding can significantly change the shape, size, and firmness of your breasts. If you’re considering breast surgery to restore your pre-pregnancy figure, you might wonder: should you choose breast augmentation, a breast lift, or both? Here’s what you need to know.

Dr. Tracy Pfeifer, an esteemed plastic surgeon with extensive experience, including a specialized breast fellowship, combines cutting-edge expertise with a deeply personalized approach to meet patient’s unique needs. Known for treating patients like family, she provides exceptional pre- and post-operative care, spends ample time educating patients during consultations, and ensures accessibility by making herself available at any time.

Breast Augmentation: Restoring Volume

Breast augmentation focuses on increasing breast size and enhancing shape. This procedure is ideal for women who experience volume loss due to pregnancy or breastfeeding but still have good skin elasticity and minimal sagging. Implants—available in saline, silicone, or gummy bear options—can restore fullness and symmetry, creating a youthful and proportionate appearance.

If your primary concern is that your breasts feel “deflated,” but they still sit relatively high on your chest, breast augmentation may be the perfect solution.

Breast Lift: Correcting Sagging

A breast lift mainly addresses sagging and drooping caused by stretched skin or weakened breast tissue. The surgeon removes excess skin, tightens the surrounding tissue, and repositions the nipples for a more lifted and perky look.

This option is ideal for women who are happy with their breast size but want to restore firmness and shape. It’s also common for women to combine a breast lift with other mommy makeover procedures for a comprehensive transformation.

Combining Procedures: The Best of Both Worlds

For many women, the best solution is combining a breast lift with augmentation. This approach restores volume and addresses sagging for a fuller, more youthful appearance. If your breasts have lost both shape and size, which is common during and after pregnancy, this combination can deliver stunning, natural-looking results.
