what can I expect with breast implants and then pregnancy? Does the pregnancy cause the breast swelling to become abnormally painful? do stretch marks appear more often?

Answer: Pregnancy after breast implants Thank you for your question. While it's not recommended to get pregnant within a few weeks after breast augmentation surgery, surprises do occur. But, becoming pregnant soon after a breast augmentation should not have a negative impact on you or your surgery.

Answer: Pregnancy and implants The response to the combination of the implant and the growing breast gland will depend on how big each of them are to start. If your implants are large, and the skin envelope already tight, yes, stretch marks may result, if your breasts enlarge rapidly. If they grow at the normal rate, this generally doesn’t happen. I’d say that pain occurs at the same rate as the non augmented breast, in my patient population. Two points deserve mention: if you develop a mastitis while breast feeding, speak with your doctor. Second, most often, I find that my augmentation patients are pleased w their implants even more after pregnancy. The breast ends up looking and feeling even more natural than immediately after surgery.

Answer: Family Planning & Breast Implants The #results of the breast #augmentation may be compromised if it is done before pregnancy. Many women undergo breast procedures to #restore their breasts to the way they looked prior to pregnancy. Therefore, if you experience weight gain, pregnancies, or any other drastic body altering changes, it is very possible the results may be compromised. There is no way of knowing what a #pregnancy will do to the results of an augmentation. Therefore, it is best to wait until after your pregnancy and nursing to undergo an augmentation.
