Is it safe to have breast augmentation during your menstrual cycle? (Photo)

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph and best wishes on your upcoming procedure.  It is safe to have a BA during your menstrual cycle as there are no increased risks attributed to it.  That said you may have a bit more discomfort so be sure to discuss this with your surgeon.  Hope this helps.

Yes, it is safe to have an augmentation during your menstrual cycle.The pain medication provided should help with your discomfort. God luck!

Thank you for your question. Yes, it is completely safe. Please speak to your plastic surgeon if you have any concerns. 

It's safe for you to have surgery during your period. However, since you mentioned that your breasts are sore during menstruation, you can consider scheduling your surgery at another time. Some women find that they become extra sensitive to discomfort during their period, and this may make the surgical experience more difficult.  

In my experience, none of my 6500 patients have ever had a problem having their breast augmentation surgery while on their menstrual cycle. Good luck.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

heels grappie.  It is not uncommon to safely perform breast augmentation during menstruation.  However if your breasts truly become a lot larger during your period, and you are very regular, you may want to work around it.  Talk to your plastic surgeon.  Good luck!

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Having surgery during your menstrual cycle will not cause any problems.  This is very common.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Dear neela grappie,Menstruation at the time of surgery is not known to cause any complication.  You can proceed as planned.  Good luck!

It should not be a problem. I have operated on many patients that have been in the middle of their cycle.

This is a very common question and concern for many women.   Having your menses at the time of surgery does not impact the outcome.   It is not uncommon for women to start their cycle at the time of surgery due to some stress or anxiety for the surgery.   It is up to you whether to hold off until the tenderness subsides but going through the procedure during the cycle should be fine.
