Breast Contouring Post-Childbirth

19th Sep, 2013

12485308-xsThe journey of childbirth brings a myriad of changes, many of which are physical. One such change is the alteration in breast size, which often increases during pregnancy and may fluctuate after childbirth. This can sometimes result in a less firm appearance. For those who notice significant changes post-weaning or post-weight loss, Dr. Phil Richardson offers procedures to address these concerns.

Post-Pregnancy Breast Contouring

The natural process of pregnancy can lead to the stretching of breast ligaments, potentially leading to a less elevated appearance. A mastopexy, or breast lift, aims to enhance the positioning on the chest wall and improve firmness. Considerations for this procedure may include:

  • Altered Contour: A breast lift may be beneficial if there’s a noticeable change in volume or shape.
  • Nipple Positioning: Adjusting the direction of the nipples to a more forward-facing position can be achieved.
  • Areola Size: Adjustments to the areola size can be made for a proportional look.

The procedure involves the removal of excess skin and reshaping of the breast tissue to achieve a more elevated position. This can result in a firmer feel and appearance, with the possibility of repositioning the nipples and resizing the areolas to complement the new breast shape.

Breast Size Considerations

A breast lift procedure is not designed to significantly alter the size of the breasts. However, it can be combined with augmentation using implants for those seeking an increase in size along with improved firmness and position.

Abdominal Contouring Post-Pregnancy

For those also looking to address changes in the abdominal area post-pregnancy, a combination of breast lift and abdominal contouring might be considered. This procedure aims to remove excess skin and tissue to achieve a more toned abdominal appearance.
