When Should I Get Breast Implants? – The Right Time for Breast Enhancement

Breast implants remain one of the most popular cosmetic plastic surgery procedures in the United States, with thousands of women undergoing the procedure each year. If you’re considering breast implants, you’ll need to decide exactly when the best time for implants is for you. 

Breast Implants After Surgery or Injury – It’s not uncommon for women to seek breast implants after surgery or injury, such as after breast cancer. If one or both of your breasts have been disfigured, opting for surgery may offer a simple and effective solution to restore them back to their normal appearance.

Breast Implants After Pregnancy – Change in the composition and look of a woman’s breasts is one of the common side effects of pregnancy; this is true whether or not a woman breastfeeds. For this reason, many women seek breast implant surgery after they have children. Waiting to have breast implants until you’re done having children will ensure that your breast tissue remains relatively calm, without any major fluctuations that could otherwise cause stretching or other visual imperfections.

Breast Implants After Weight Loss – Another common time when women seek breast implants is after they’ve lost weight. Dropping a few pounds isn’t going to make much of a difference in terms of your breast size and shape but if you lose a significant amount of weight, it may affect the appearance of your breasts. Your breasts may look smaller and/or have a different shape due to the loss of fat. To correct these issues, many women seek breast implants after they lose weight.
