FDA-Recommended FAQs for Women Considering Breast Augmentation Surgery

Your breast implants over time

Question. How will my ability to breast-feed be affected?

Answer. Breast implants have not been demonstrated to affect the ability to breast-feed.

Question. How can I expect my implanted breasts to look over time?

Answer. Breasts with implants will be subject to the forces of gravity and natural aging in the same way as breasts without implants. In other words, there will be some sagging and loose skin over time. See also the Answers to Question 2 and 6 for some of the factors that increase the tendency to sag.

Question. How can I expect my implanted breasts to look after pregnancy? After breast-feeding?

Answer. Pregnancy and breast-feeding can cause changes in the appearance of implanted breasts as the natural breast tissue changes during these times, increasing and then decreasing in volume, sometimes substantially. Depending on several factors, including the size of your implants, the elasticity of your skin, your pre- and post-pregnancy weight fluctuation, your pre-and post-pregnancy/breastfeeding breast volume change, the number of pregnancies, and other factors (including the ones listed in the Answer to Question 2 above), your breasts may develop some loose skin and sagging after pregnancy/breastfeeding.
