Egg donation involves a quick recovery and you should be able to coed with the breast surgery within a week.

Steven Teitelbaum, MD · Answer

This has become a very common question here in Los Angeles.  I think it is because California has some of the most progressive reproductive law in the country.

	The bottom line is that your breasts need to return to their normal size, and that amount of time will vary.

	Some donor's breasts get huge, others don't.  It depends on your dose of drugs, how long you were on them, whether you had to sync cycles or did a frozen retrieval, and how your body responded.

	I just tell patients to wait and be sure their breasts are back to baseline.   But this is something for you to speak with your own plastic surgeon about.

	And you are to be congratulated for helping a family trying to start a family.  You did a great deed.

Assuming all medications used around the time of your procedure have cleared and your breasts are at their usual “state” you should be able to proceed with breast augmentation surgery very soon after egg donation. Confer with your physicians if you have specific issues/concerns. Best wishes.

Kevin Brenner, MD, FACS · Answer

Having surgery after egg donation is safe. The real issue that you need to be aware of is the effect that any hormone supplement or manipulation may have had on your breast tissue. Estrogen and Progesterone supplements with affect your breast tissue, and commonly will cause enlargement of the breast parenchyma. My best advice is to wait a few months following any supplementation in order to allow your breasts to return to their actual native size.

Hello and thanks for the question.My recommendation would be waiting until your breasts return to their native state following the cessation of the pro-fertility medications.  Confer with your plastic surgeon for specifics.
