Mommy Make-over: Breasts
August 22nd, 2011
Most of the women that come to me for consultations about breast surgery following pregnancy complain that their breast size or shape has changed. Physical changes may occur even in the absence of breast-feeding. Click on Documentary Film “Restoring Jennifer” at the top of the page to see the personal story of a young woman’s journey to restore her figure.
Patients often report that there is reduced fullness on the top of their breasts, just above the nipple, along with a general dissatisfaction in loss of breast size. The decreased fullness may be interpreted as sagging or a loss of “perkiness.”
 The most common concern that I hear is the complaint of overall diminished breast size after pregnancy.
Augmentation mammoplasty or breast enlargement surgery is the primary procedure that is used to restore breasts following pregnancy. According to the The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), about 312,000 breast enlargement surgeries were performed last year, making it the most requested cosmetic surgery. However, there are no specific statistics about how many women chose the surgery as part of a “Mommy Make-over.â€

It has been 6 weeks since my breast enlargement and I am very happy with the results. I just turned 40 and after having breastfed 3 kids, I was feeling a little deflated. I feel so good about my decision to have the procedure done, that I am now ready to take on my 40’s looking great and feeling very confident. My experience with Dr. Bashioum and his staff was absolutely excellent. They are very welcoming and both Dr. Bashioum and his staff where always ready to answer any question or concerns. The day of my surgery, I felt very relaxed and at ease. My patient instructions, as to what steps would be taken where laid out very well and what would happen after surgery, too.
Dr. Bashioum called in the evening after my surgery to make sure I was doing fine, which I found very comforting.
I was always told that I could call Dr. Bashioum any time day or night if I had any questions or concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Bashioum and staff.
