Bringing a child into the world is incredible, as well as transformative. However, many new moms struggle with aspects of this transformation. While motherhood itself is beautiful, many women battle to feel confident in their new bodies, especially with the changes in their breasts.
This is nothing to be ashamed of. There is no requirement that women must learn to love all physical reminders of their pregnancy. And that is why new mothers should consider the benefits of breast augmentation after pregnancy.
Common Post-Pregnancy Breast Changes
You can appreciate what your body has been through and still want to change the way it looks.
When pregnant, the female body goes through a lot of changes preparing for the arrival of the baby. Many of these changes occur in the breasts. They swell as hormones get the mammary system prepared for milk production, the nipples can change shape and the areola can darken.
After birth, the breasts can remain larger throughout breastfeeding, after which they go down in size, sometimes becoming smaller than they were before pregnancy. This size fluctuation can leave new mothers with breasts that are saggy and deflated.
How Breast Implants Can Help
New mothers go through a lot after the birth of their child, including adjusting to motherhood, dealing with hormone changes and finding a new balance in their lives. Being unhappy with their breast size doesn’t have to be an added stressor.
Breast augmentation is the most common cosmetic surgery procedure performed today. It can also be combined with a lift for women who are concerned about sagging. For many women, breast augmentation is what they need to reclaim their sense of self.
If you are not happy with your breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding, there are options for you. With a little help, you can make the changes you need to feel like a better version of yourself.
