Can I Get a Breast Lift While Pregnant?

Question

I just found out im pregnant and was planning to have a breast lift reduction combo and i want to know if i can still do that being pregnant?

Ricardo A. Meade, MD · Answer

Not a good idea to do a breast lift during pregnancy. You should wait until the breast goes through all of the anticipated changes of pregnancy and once they've stopped and stabilized, then its time to look into a lift.

Vishnu Rumalla, MD · Answer

Please do not have an elective procedure while you are pregnant.  Please speak to your Ob/gyn to discuss the risks to your unborn child.

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

Performing any non-urgent surgery while you are pregnant is not a good idea.  For a breast lift in particular, you should wait until after you stopped breast feeding and your breasts have stopped changing (from breastfeeding)

Scott C. Sattler, MD, FACS · Answer

If you are pregnant, you cannot have a cosmetic surgical procedure under an anesthetic- so no- you cannot get a breast lift or other cosmetic procedure done during your pregnancy.

Otto Joseph Placik, MD · Answer

I would NOT advise getting a breast lift while being pregnant for several reasons including the potential effects on your fetus as well as the dramatic changes your breast could undergo.

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

No elective surgery should be performed while you are pregnant. I  would suggest you wait until at least 3 months after you have stopped breast-feeding ( if you choose to do so)  and seek consultation with a well experienced board certified plastic surgeon.

	Best wishes.

Jay H. Ross, MD, FACS · Answer

I think you know the answer to this one. NO you must wait for the pregnancy to be over. After a few months you can consider having the surgery. Please check with you plastic surgeon and get specific advice.

C. Bob Basu, MD, MPH, FACS · Answer

The answer is no. there is no reason to proceed with elective surgery on the breast while you are pregnant. please wait until you have delivered and finished breast feeding. Your breasts will likely change after this pregnancy and you will need to be re-evaluated by your plastic surgeon in the future.

Scott E. Kasden, MD, FACS · Answer

No, No, No, and No.

	Not only will your breast change greatly, you will place the baby at risk.  You can expect a pregnancy test at time of pre-op, so no getting around it.

Bivik Shah, MD · Answer

I know you are excited to have your breast surgery but you should wait until after you deliver. This will give you the best result as well because pregnancy can change your breasts and make them bigger or smaller afterwards! Good luck!
