Breast Augmentation and Pregnancy

Some questions about breast implants and pregnancy.

Breast Implants: Should I Wait Until I’ve Completed All My Pregnancies?

It’s up to you.

Many young women are interested both in breast augmentation and in having children. They frequently wonder…

Are breast implants dangerous for the baby?

Do breast implants create issues when breast feeding?

Will the implants still look good after pregnancies?

My short answers:

Among mothers with implants, breast feeding is safe for the babies.

On the other hand, breast implants may decrease the chance (by about 5-10%) that a mother can successfully breast feed.

Breast implants may improve chest appearance both before and after pregnancies and breast feeding.

Ultimately, a patient must decide for herself after she has had a chance to consider the facts.

    I have read several articles some arguing against breast augmentation based on the risks for potentially not being able to breast feed and others arguing for augmentation based on the fact that commercial milk has saline in it anyway. What is a person to think?
