Pregnant 3 months after an explant with lift, what are the risks?

Ellaplum
Hello. I had a breast lift with explant of 21 years old silicone implants last August and I am delighted with the results. I just found out that I am pregnant, quite unexpectedly. What are the risks in terms of changes to my new breasts, still in the phase of recovery, especially the scars? Will I need a new lift in one year? Will they completely deflate? Last but most important: will surgery be able to fix whatever happens? I am terrified.
