The implants will be fine - but your breasts may change

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Will pregnancy ruin my breast implants?

I had breast enlargement surgery 15 months ago, I am pregnant again and am wondering if  this will ruin my breast implants? I had the implant under the muscle but I am worried I will regain that saggy look again.

Pregnancy will have no effect on the integrity of your implants.  So there is no need to worry about that.  But the stretching and shrinking of the breast tissue during pregnancy and breast feeding may cause changes that could require some future surgery.  Either bigger implants or a lift may be in your future.  But MAYBE NOT!  So you need to not worry, have a safe and healthy pregnancy, and visit with your plastic surgeon after all is done and discuss these issues.  By that time, you will probably know if anything is needed even before you see the doctor.
