Hi! I really hope someone will give me their honest input on this. I had 420cc and redid them to 565cc. They still sit perky but I've been wanting a reduction because think it's too big for me. I'm planning on getting pregnant at the end of the year and was worried my boobs will get double in size from pregnancy and possibly sag. Should I get my boobs smaller before I get pregnant so that way it doesn't have to stretch out even bigger?
Answer: Wait until after your pregnancy! How your breasts will change during pregnancy is not totally predictable, but they will likely get bigger during and after pregnancy (if you choose to breast feed) and then become smaller after you stop nursing. They may even become smaller than they were prior to pregnancy. It sounds like you have breast implants and are wondering if you should downsize your implants, not reduce the amount of actual breast tissue that you have. How your breasts will change during pregnancy is not totally predictable, but they will likely get bigger during and after pregnancy (if you choose to breast feed) and then become smaller after you stop nursing. They may even become smaller than they were prior to pregnancy and they may even droop a little. Or, if you are lucky you have very few breast changes during pregnancy! My advice would be to wait until you are finished having children so that you can then predictably choose the size of implant you want AND address any positional issues that may have occurred to the position of your breasts or nipples during pregnancy. Otherwise you may be having surgery to prevent a problem you may never have OR need additional surgery after your pregnancy to address other issues (like droopiness) afterward anyway.

Answer: Breast reduction Thank you for your question! I would wait until after your pregnancy to have breast surgery. Your breast will stretch during and after pregnancy, so it is best to wait until after your breasts are back to their original size. It is best to visit your board certified plastic surgeon and have an in person consultation and discuss your goals! Best of luck.

Answer: Breast reduction before or after baby? Your have a few options here. One would be to leave the implants, have the baby, breast feed, and after completing all of this, evaluate your breasts to see if you would need a lift. A second option would be to aggressively attempt to reduce the risks of sagging by replacing the implant with smaller prostheses prior to pregnancy. I would tend to favor the former, as it is difficult to predict exactly what changes will occur following pregnancy, regardless of the size of the implants. But, if in fact you decide to have surgery prior to pregnancy, i would suggest you consider just taking the implants out during this process then reevaluating your appearance and needs after breastfeeding.
