I Got a Mommy Makeover. Here’s What You Should Know Before Yours
I’ve always been happy with my breasts. For most of my adult life, I had perky, full 36Cs that I thought fit my body and made me feel good. I got pregnant in 2018, gave birth in 2019, and breastfed and pumped for just over a year afterward. In that timespan, my breast size fluctuated drastically; they grew during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and once I finished pumping and nursing, they were smaller than ever before.
“Some women opt for only a lift (mastopexy), as they are happy with the size of their breasts,” Dr. Doft says. “Some women wish to have a breast reduction, and some patients who have lost volume will opt to have breast implants or fat grafting. Patients seeking an abdominoplasty are looking to improve the contour of their abdomen, and many wish to remove excess skin from pregnancy and tighten muscles which were stretched out.”
