Pregnant days before breast augmentation. Will I have to postpone the surgery?

DahliaBxxDec 17, 2023
A slight trigger warning as this talks about abortion. My breast augmentation is coming up this Thursday but I have just found out that I am pregnant - 2-3 weeks. Will this mean that I have to postpone my breast augmentation? What are your experiences of this? Particularly as I don't intend to keep the pregnancy as it is very unplanned. I would be looking to terminate the pregnancy in the next day or so.

Dear RealSelfMember0998938, I almost always place implants submuscular. It lowers the rate of capsular contracture significantly. In addition, it looks much more natural because the muscle provides covering over the implant so its not as round on the top. I've also noticed the implants drop less...

Dear PalinaNicole, it is unlikely that your breasts will change more since you had your surgery 11 months ago. Based on your photos, it looks like there is some minor asymmetry.

I usually prefer to use Ergonomix series, due to the natural feel and texture. Ergonomix implants take on a teardrop shape when standing and a round shape when lying down, mimicking the natural breast tissue. Ergonomix 2 is even softer than Ergonomix 1 and I usually recommend my patients to...
