How Long Should I Wait to Get Pregnant After Breast Implant Removal?
I was a full B before breast implant surgury, which took me to a 32DD. I was young, and rushed into a decision that I should have put more thought into. Now, almost four years later my husband and I are getting ready to start a family, and I want them out! Will pregnancy within months of the explantation procedure interfere with the healing process? Is there a chance that the breast growth that occurs in pregnancy will help add volume to the stretched out skin, or is this wishful thinking?

Healing from a breast implant removal should not delay pregnancy significantly
Breast implants can be removed and barring any complications you could become pregnant within a couple of weeks. Remember the implants are under the breasts and removing them should not injure the breasts in any way. If however you want a lift done at the same time healing will take longer. I have been happily surprised with how well skin of the breast tightens over time once the implant has been removed. I would recommend waiting until after your pregnancy to see how your breasts look...

Pregnancy after implant removal
Once the implants are removed, I would jsut want to make sure that there are no complicaitons and that you heal ok. You may want to wait a few months to be sure. As for volume fill, it may add a little as you gain weight, but I wouldn't anticipate having an implanted breast look.

Removing breast implants before pregnancy
Hormonal influences on the breast during pregnancy are transient. I would await completion of your pregnancy and lactation before removal.

Breasts tissue does become larger with pregnancy but does not remain that way in most women.
