Thinking about a Breast Lift?
Let’s talk timing, pregnancy and breastfeeding.
If you’ve been considering a breast lift (Mastopexy), you’re definitely not alone and one of the most common questions people ask is, "Should I wait until after pregnancy or breastfeeding?”
Here’s what you need to know.
◾ How pregnancy can change the breasts?
During pregnancy, hormones and milk production can cause your breasts to grow, stretch, and then lose volume afterward. Because of this, the shape of the breasts may change noticeably once pregnancy or breastfeeding is over. So if you have a breast lift BEFORE pregnancy, those natural changes may affect your surgical result later on.
◾ When is the right time?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but here are some helpful guidelines:
◽ Planning a pregnancy soon?
It might be worth delaying your breast lift. Waiting can help reduce the chance of needing revision surgery later.
◽ Finished having children?
Many people choose to proceed once breastfeeding is complete and the breast shape has stabilised.
◽ Personal circumstances matter.
Some prefer to move forward earlier based on lifestyle, comfort, and many other personal concerns. The key is discussing your plans openly during your consultation.
A personalised conversation with a qualified plastic surgeon can help you find the timing that feels right for YOU.

Gynecomastia refers to the enlargement of male breast tissue due to hormonal imbalance. It is relatively common and can appear at different stages of life, from adolescence through adulthood.
What can cause Gynecomastia?
◽ Hormonal changes - puberty, ageing, or shifts in testosterone levels
◽ Medications - certain prescribed medicines may contribute
◽ Underlying health conditions - such as liver, kidney or thyroid disorders
◽ Substance use - including alcohol, anabolic steroids, or cannabis
◽ Ageing - natural metabolic and hormonal changes over time
The key sign is a firm increase in breast tissue, which may occur on one or both sides. Some individuals may also experience tenderness.
When to speak with a health professional?
A medical review is recommended if you notice:
◾ A hard or fixed lump
◾ Rapid changes in breast size
◾ Nipple discharge
A consultation with a qualified practitioner can help determine the cause and discuss appropriate management options based on your individual situation.
