Considering breast implants

Gabrielat · 08-21-2009, 12:04 PM

Hello,
After I stop breastfeeding my 2nd child for a year, my breast really got smaller and can't get use to them being so small (used to be size C, now maybe small B). Can you advice me what are my options? I would like to get full C or small D, more natural look. Thanks so much.

Unfortunately, what you have experienced is very common. Most women have a loss of breast tissue/size after breastfeeding. The good thing is that it usually means that you have some excess or lax breast skin, so accomodating a large range of implants is usually pretty easy. To get someone into the large C/D range, you usually need an implant around the 325cc - 400cc, depending on what you start out with. Silicone vs saline is another decision. Both do a good job, but in the long run, more women are happier with the silicone implants. It is common to have women change from saline to silicone. It is very rare to have women go the opposite way - from silicone to saline. If you would like to come in for a consultation, just give our office a call or shoot us an email.

same thing here. Used to be full c, then small b after breastfeeding 2 kids. You can look at my pre and post op pics if you want. I am extremely happy with my results so far! I did not need a lift, just implants to fill out what I once had. You'll be so happy when you get it done. Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions.
