Breast Implant Removal Before or After Pregnancy?

February 10, 2010
Asked By:kwm

I'm 27 and have had Breast Implants for 5 years total (350cc Saline for 2 years, 225cc Silicone gel for 3 years). I would like to get them removed without replacement. I would also like to get pregnant soon & in the future (likely 2 kids total). I naturally have naturally small breasts (AA/almost A), little breast tissue, & fairly elastic skin. I would prefer not to get a breast lift if I didn't have to, but would be willing to if necessary. Should I get my implants removed now or wait until after pregnancy to have the best aesthetic result?
