Mentor Breast Augmentation Story: Saying Goodbye to Postpartum Sagging for Naturally Full Breasts

Key takeaways

Mentor Classic (smooth) postpartum breast augmentation case: after childbirth and breastfeeding, her breasts had deflated, spread apart and sagged. After an assessment with Dr. Kuo-Chun Liao and a 3D simulation, she chose smooth implants through an incision in the breast fold, hiding the scar under the breast. The final size closely matched the 3D simulation, and gentle maintenance massage keeps the breasts soft.

"After having my baby and breastfeeding, my breasts not only spread apart and sagged, my nipples also got bigger and longer. Looking in the mirror, I really thought they were ugly..."

I'm Bagel. Postpartum breast deflation is why I wanted breast augmentation. After reading about postpartum breast augmentation online, I worried the result might look fake. But it's the only way to change the shape of your breasts, friends encouraged me to try so I wouldn't regret it when I looked at photos later, and my husband was positive and supportive, so I made up my mind to do it.

Fat transfer or implants? One easy way to decide

After a consultation at NAISS CLINIC, my husband and I both preferred Mentor Classic (smooth) implants, because smooth implants feel the softest. I think the main goal of postpartum breast augmentation is to like it yourself; that's how you'll be happy with the result. I didn't consider fat transfer because the body still absorbs some of the fat, the cup-size increase might be limited, and it isn't necessarily cheaper, so I chose Mentor breast augmentation.

I'd heard that a downside of Mentor Classic (smooth) is needing frequent massage after surgery, or there may be capsular contracture. I asked about this at the consultation, and the doctor said massage is simple now, a maintenance massage, not the painful, uncomfortable massage of traditional breast augmentation, which put my mind at ease.

A friend also had postpartum breast augmentation. She chose Motiva implants and didn't do any special massage, but her breasts really aren't very soft, and she still needs to push them occasionally. Learning from her experience, I felt that since some massage is needed either way, I'd rather choose the feel I like. As long as it fixes postpartum deflation, massage is a small thing.

For the incision I chose the breast fold, because after Mentor breast augmentation the scar is hidden under the breast and can't be seen from the front. I didn't choose the areola or underarm because I didn't want to fix postpartum deflation only to be left with a visible surgery scar, so I didn't really consider other incisions.

Big praise for NAISS CLINIC's 3D simulation: visual planning is so helpful

NAISS CLINIC's pre-surgery 3D simulation is fantastic! The actual size after my Mentor breast augmentation was almost identical to the simulation. I highly recommend doing the 3D simulation, because at the consultation you really can't picture how your breasts will look afterward. With visual help from the 3D simulation, you can see from an outside perspective whether they'd be too big or too small, and understand more intuitively how many cc you need to fix postpartum deflation.

I remember that on the day of my Mentor breast augmentation I wasn't nervous or scared at all; I was happy and relaxed, because the day had finally come. Thinking that I'd wake up with my postpartum deflation fixed, looking good and confident, I couldn't wait!

The biggest change after Mentor Classic (smooth) breast augmentation

It's been about six months since my Mentor breast augmentation. Besides fixing postpartum deflation, I think the biggest change is in my clothes, especially low-cut tops: they look better, I no longer envy anyone, and with perkier breasts even passersby take a second look! I rate the surgery 9.5; the missing 0.5 is because I think I could have gone a bit bigger. It's a small regret, but I'm still very happy with how things are, and it's much better than when my breasts were deflated after childbirth! Friends and family think my breasts look natural and beautiful. As for the feel, my husband says they don't feel fake like people online claim. Friends have even passed on my experience, and more moms wanting postpartum breast augmentation have come to NAISS CLINIC for consultations.

Three reasons I chose NAISS CLINIC

I chose NAISS CLINIC for three reasons. First, it's a Mentor-certified clinic with a wide range of implant sizes, so you don't have to worry about not finding the right cc. Second, surgery is performed by professional plastic surgeons, so Mentor breast augmentation is safe and reassuring. Third, and what won me over most: NAISS CLINIC provides a complete aftercare program. Besides the doctor teaching you how to massage at home, the clinic offers a series of scar-fading treatments, including wound care, pain-relief IV drips and scar injections. I was confident NAISS CLINIC could help fix my postpartum deflation and felt completely at ease.

Breast augmentation rebuilt my confidence: the sooner, the better!

"Every woman wanting to look beautiful is normal. What's wrong with improving yourself, even through postpartum breast augmentation!"

Postpartum breast deflation is something any mom might face. Having had a successful Mentor breast augmentation, I'd tell other moms considering postpartum breast augmentation: really, don't hesitate. "The sooner you do it, the sooner you enjoy it, or you'll regret it." I used to hear others say that, and now, having been through it, I can confirm it's true! Instead of looking in the mirror every day, sad that your breasts don't look like they did when you were young, get breast augmentation soon. You'll get your old confidence back, and daily life really does get happier!

After Before

When is the best time for breast augmentation? Seize the golden window

Finally, I'd suggest moms considering postpartum breast augmentation schedule it for late autumn, because breast augmentation requires a compression garment over the incisions, which is hot and stuffy. It's easier to bear in cold winter weather, and by summer you can head to the beach in a bikini and show off your confident, gorgeous figure!
