How long will the results last?
Except in the event of implant deflation requiring surgical replacement with a new implant, the results of your breast augmentation surgery will be long-lasting. However, gravity and the effects of aging will eventually alter the size and shape of virtually every woman’s breasts. If, after a period of years, you become dissatisfied with the appearance of your breasts, you may choose to undergo a breast “lifting” to restore their more youthful contour.
In most women, the new and fuller shape of the breasts lasts for years to come. There are however, certain factors that can accelerate the drooping of the breasts over time. These include the size of implants chosen, the elasticity of the skin that is affected by normal aging, smoking, tanning, and pregnancy and nursing. The larger the implant, greater the chances that gravity will cause the breasts to droop over time. At your consultation, Dr. Lee will suggest a range of sizes which he feels will be best for your body shape. Most women desire a noticeable change but do not want their breasts to be the main focus of attention in public. Dr. Lee is well aware that most women do not want to look “top-heavy”. He will help you closely in choosing the right size for you. The elasticity of the skin is affected by the skin’s collagen and elastin content. Certain factors such as large weight fluctuations, previous pregnancies, and nursing history can affect skin elasticity.
