Dear Dr. Winder:
Q. I'm 29 years old and am married to a wonderful man; we have three children. Since I've had my babies, I'm embarrassed to have my husband see my breasts. They just seem to have shriveled up and disappeared. Would breast implants fix them?

A. Yes, breast augmentation is probably the right answer for you; it can make an incredible difference in how you look, and how you feel about your breasts!

After pregnancy, the hormonal changes that take place in your body can cause your breast tissue to atrophy; this can leave the breasts looking "deflated". Breast implants can fill this void. Also, if your breasts are slightly "droopy", breast implants can make the breast appear to have been "lifted" without any of the scars that come hand-in-hand with breast lifting surgery. However, if you have significant droop, then you may need to have a breast lift, or "mastopexy", which can be performed at the same time as the breast augmentation.

Because I have done thousands of breast surgeries, the surgery takes no more than two hours, and most patients return to work within several days. Statistics show that 98% of women who do, are very glad that they did. Men also appreciate the changes, both physical and psychological.
