Many young women seeking breast augmentation become concerned about how the procedure could potentially affect their future - if they have children later on, will having breast implants prevent them from being able to breastfeed their newborn? Although this is a common concern, the truth is that if your body was able to produce milk prior to breast augmentation surgery, you should still be capable to do so afterward. A small percentage of all women are simply unable to produce a sufficient amount of milk for a baby, so if a patient has never attempted to breastfeed prior to surgery, it is unknown whether or not she will be able to lactate after breast augmentation. When performed by a skilled and experienced board certified plastic... Continue Reading

Loose, inelastic skin developing in the breasts is a very common occurrence, and many women begin to feel very self-conscious when the breasts take on a “sagging” appearance. Often due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, genetics, weight loss, or even just the toll that gravity and the natural aging process eventually takes on the body, the effects of excess skin among the breasts can be significantly reduced and improved with breast lift surgery. When this option is considered by women here at the Aesthetic Surgery Centre, one of the most common questions we receive is: “Are breast implants necessary as part of a breast lift?” The answer ultimately depends on one’s individual needs and goals; but, in general, the answer is no.

If you are considering breast augmentation, it can be helpful to be prepared by understanding what you can expect during the recovery process.

Based on my patients’ individual progress, I advise them of when it is safe to return to their daily activities and exercise routines. After surgery, I will provide you with specific directions to help you heal properly. These aftercare instructions are extremely important for a successful recovery.
