Do breast implants change after pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The implants themselves do not change, but your breasts can.
If you get implants in your 20s and then have kids 10 years later, pregnancy and breastfeeding can change your natural breast tissue. If your breasts stretch a lot (for example, you go from an A cup to a C cup during pregnancy and then lose volume afterward), you may notice this pattern:
⬆️ Your implant still sits higher where it was originally placed
⬇️ Your natural breast tissue can settle lower over time
That is when some women consider implant removal or replacement, and often a breast lift to bring everything back into a more youthful position.
On the other hand, if your breast size does not change dramatically with pregnancy and nursing (for example, you go from an A to a B/C temporarily and then return close to your baseline), many women still look quite good. In those cases, implants can actually help maintain upper pole fullness, which can be especially helpful after pregnancy.
