Breast augmentation and lift are best done after pregnancy

Breast lift, implants and pregnancy

You sound like you would be a good candidate for a breast lift with implants. However it is difficult to predict how your breasts will change after pregnancy. So if you plan to get pregnant soon, it would be best to postpone the surgery until after the delivery so you can have a predictable and long lasting result. Best of luck

I agree with Dr Wallach's response. You really can not predict the appearance after surgery + pregnancy. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski
