Avoiding the vertical scar in a breast lift
Unfortunately for many women, they aren’t a candidate for a straightforward breast augmentation and need a lift as well. So instead of simply making one small incision in which to insert the breast implant, they need additional incisions to remove excess skin and accomplish a breast lift (mastopexy) at the same time.

Breastfeeding after breast augmentation
There’s no problem with breastfeeding after breast augmentation. Plain and simple.

Cosmetic Surgery Before or After Kids?
Depending on what type of cosmetic procedure you’re considering, it may be best to wait til after kids.
