Pregnancy and motherhood are among life’s most rewarding experiences, but they can also bring significant changes to a woman’s body, especially the breasts. After giving birth to three children, Reena Roy chose to undergo a breast lift combined with breast augmentation at Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital to restore fuller, firmer, and more naturally balanced breasts.
Three pregnancies and years of breastfeeding caused noticeable changes to Reena Roy’s breasts. The breast tissue had significantly lost volume, the skin became stretched and lax, and the breasts sagged lower than their original position.
Beyond the physical changes, this also affected her confidence. Dresses, fitted outfits, camisoles, and swimsuits that she once enjoyed wearing gradually remained untouched because her breasts no longer complemented her figure.
What concerned Reena the most was that despite exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy diet, the sagging did not improve. This is because excess skin and the loss of breast tissue after pregnancy cannot be restored through exercise or nutrition alone, but requires specialized plastic surgery.
Before deciding to undergo breast surgery, Reena spent considerable time researching surgeons’ expertise, surgical procedures, and real patient results.
What gave her confidence in choosing Kangnam was not only its Ministry of Health-licensed hospital system but also its comprehensive preoperative consultation process. Rather than applying the same procedure to every patient, the surgeons carefully evaluated the degree of breast ptosis, the remaining breast tissue, and skin quality to develop a personalized surgical plan.
More importantly, every treatment option was thoroughly explained, allowing her to understand why her condition required a combination of a breast lift and implants instead of a single procedure.
Following a detailed clinical examination, Dr. Nguyen Pham Minh Tri (Dr. Thomas Nguyen) – Specialist in Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring at Kangnam Hospital, 218 Nguyen Trai – diagnosed Reena with:
If breast implants alone had been used, the additional implant weight could have caused the breasts to sag further over time.
On the other hand, performing only a breast lift would have repositioned the breasts higher but would not have restored the lost upper breast fullness.
After a comprehensive assessment, Dr. Thomas Nguyen recommended combining a breast lift with breast augmentation in a single surgical procedure to address both breast shape and volume simultaneously.
A Breast Lift Combined with Breast Augmentation is a comprehensive procedure chosen by many mothers after childbirth because it effectively restores both breast position and volume in a single surgery.
The surgeon removes excess skin, reshapes the breast tissue, and repositions the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful location. Incision patterns are carefully planned according to the degree of sagging to optimize cosmetic outcomes while minimizing visible scarring.
Once the breast structure has been reshaped, implants are placed within the appropriate pocket to restore lost volume, creating fuller breasts with natural projection and proportions that complement the patient’s body.
By combining these two techniques in one procedure, patients can achieve a more comprehensive and long-lasting result while avoiding multiple separate surgeries.
Following surgery, Reena was closely monitored and cared for under Kangnam’s standardized postoperative recovery protocol.
Breast sagging after childbirth is more than just an aesthetic concern—it can significantly affect a woman’s confidence. For women experiencing both breast ptosis and volume loss, choosing the right surgical approach from the beginning plays an important role in achieving long-lasting, satisfying results.
At Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, every patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation to accurately assess breast anatomy and receive a personalized surgical plan designed to deliver optimal outcomes.
If you are experiencing sagging, deflated breasts after pregnancy and are unsure which procedure is right for you, schedule a consultation with our plastic surgery specialists. An early evaluation will help you choose the most appropriate treatment plan while maximizing both safety and aesthetic results.
