Radiofrequency treatment (for aesthetics) during my fertile period. Can it damage the pregnancy?

W
worriedbrazilianNov 6, 2015

My period/menstruation came at 9th day of october, and I did radio frequency application in my breasts at 19th day of october (same month). I was having relations with my husband and I discovered myself pregnant. Now I am worried the radio frequency laser treatment (aesthetic) can harm the Celular division of the fetus. Am I being paranoid? Please help me.

Hard to answer this question without your photos or an in person exam. Best to see a board certified plastic surgeon who can examine and evaluate you and recommend the best options for you.

Go you for doing your homework. Both implants have the same diameter so they'll fit your chest. My only advice would be to "try out" the 280cc and the 340cc and which one looks better to you with either gel inserts or the at home rice method (1oz rice = 30cc breast volume, place in baggies, put...
