Implant exchange to go bigger while planning to get pregnant?

Thank you for your question! This is a very common question I often run into when in consultation with patients.
Pregnancy can cause significant breast changes, including fluctuations in size, shape, and skin elasticity. While larger implants may provide the look you want initially, the natural breast changes during pregnancy might affect that look post-pregnancy, potentially leading to the need for adjustments or a revision down the line. It is recommended to wait until after childbirth and breastfeeding, if possible, to minimize these changes on your new implants.
It is always best to discuss these options directly with a board certified surgeon.

I would favor waiting until after your pregnancy. The added size and weight of a larger implant will increase the risk of having sagging to your breasts post pregnancy.

Pregnancy will add additional weight to your breasts and adding larger implants will make your breasts droop even more with a combination of the two. You would be better off waiting until you are done with pregnancy.

Best Wishes,

If you want surgery now, then do it. Not all women gain in size with pregnancy and breast feeding. Some stay about the same and some lose tissue. However, after you have all the children you want, then have something done if needed.

There’s no yes or no answer to your question I had a
The impact of pregnancy on women’s breast varies substantially from person to person.
After pregnancy, some women may need more extensive surgery such as a breast lift while others have breast that are almost the same.
as a general statement, anytime excessively large implants are chosen the chance of undesirable side effects, complications and need for revision surgery goes up.
Without having more information, can’t really give you quality Recommendations.
