Like most cosmetic procedures, breast implants will need to be redone after a period of time. The length of time that the implants last depends on the type of implant that you have.

It is possible to breastfeed your baby after breast augmentation, but there are a lot of factors that go into consideration whilst you breastfeed.

When considering a breast implant, it is important to consider that there is more than one type of breast implants that may work for you.

Bearing in mind that breast augmentation is a surgical procedure, you can expect to need help, especially during the first 24 hours. Although you aren’t any danger, you should stay off your feet as much as possible, since a fall could cause damage, and you will be feeling rather groggy. Have a close friend or loved one with you, and ask them to accompany you when you need to get up to go to the bathroom, and to fetch and carry for you as needed.
