Risks of becoming pregnant after breast augmentation
Hi there-
There should be no health risk to you or your baby, so be at peace about that....
Obviously, pregnancy will result in hormone related development and engorgement of the glandular elements within the breasts- that is, your breasts will swell with milk, which may stretch your skin and breast tissue out.
This may, in turn, cause a change in the shape of your breasts, which, after the delivery of your baby, you may want to do something about.

Pregnancy after breast augmentation
I have had quite a few patients get pregnant after having breast augmentation surgery. Most of them are still very pleased with their results. With pregnancy, the breast tissue will swell and after delivery and nursing your baby, you may notice a change in shape/size of your breasts. This is normal. It may not be enough of a change to make a difference. Enjoy your pregnancy and your baby. Most likely, everything will end up fine.

Breast augmentation and pregnancy
In my experience, having had a number of patients over the past 30 years who have become pregnant within a few months of augmentation, I don't believe the augmentation has any adverse affects on the breasts. It is well known that pregnancy can create adverse effects on breast such as shrinkage and laxity (these effects will vary from person to person), but in my opinion this is not exacerbated by the augmentation.

Breast implants and pregnancy
There are no risks to the breast implants because of pregnancy. I disagree that there is a risk of capsule contracture because of pregnancy and implants do not "harden" as one response mentioned.

Risks of getting pregnant right after breast augmentation
The risks are the breasts swell during pregnancy and after they could droop or look hanging. Also capsular fibrosis can occur. But the great side is you are having a baby, how wonderful, I guess the implants did their job. LOL.

Breast augmentation and pregnancy
There are no real risks to your implants with pregnancy, but you will notice some swelling of the breasts. You will probably be able to breast feed, if you want to, but there is no guarantee of this even in women who have not had implants. Good luck, /nsn.

Pregnancy and implants
There are no significant risks although with hormonal changes, the implants may have an increased risk of hardening. The biggest risk is cosmetically since all bets are off as to what your breasts will do and what they will look like after pregnancy and breast-feeding.

Pregnancy after Breast Augmentation
There are no particular risks with becoming pregnant following your breast augmentation. You can expect mild to moderate engorgement of your breasts as your pregnancy progresses which can lead to stretching of the skin and possibly some sagging after the engorgement resolves.
