Can I Get Implants While I Am Pregnant?

Question

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

Absolutely not. You should wait until about 6 months after finishing nursing before having a breast augmentation.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

No reputable surgeon would put implants in while you are pregnant and place your unborn child at risk.  I would be very surprised if you could find a surgeon to do it.

Bennett Yang, MD · Answer

Hi,

	This is a great question. As the other doctors have stated, you can NOT have plastic surgery while you are pregnant. it is not safe for you or the baby. Once you have delivered, you should wait 4-6 months after you have finished breast feeding before considering breast implants. Best to you.

N. Bill Aydin, MD · Answer

We do not recommend undergoing any elective surgical procedure while you are pregnant, it's best to wait until after delivery.

Brian C. Reuben, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, this is not a good idea. Elective operations should be postponed until well after delivery. Additionally, one should wait 3-6 months after finishing breast feeding prior to any breast surgery.

Ramin Behmand, MD, FACS · Answer

Having breast augmentation during pregnancy would be more challenging that you might think. First, your body is undergoing many changes due to hormonal shifts. Second, you have higher chance of an unpredictable and possibly poor result. Third, and most important, is the risks that are posed to your pregnancy as a result of having anesthesia and the procedure itself, as well as all the drugs that your baby would be exposed to. Realistically, it would be considered malpractice if anyone offered to do the procedure for you. On the other hand, once you have stopped breast feeding for 3 months, you might be a good candidate for the surgery.

Kevin G. Rose, MD · Answer

You never want to have anesthesia while pregnant unless absolutely necessary. Plus your breasts will undergo changes that could affect your results.

Walkiris Robles, MD · Answer

Definitely not, You must wait at least 4 months after finishing breastfeeding. If you got your normal weight is a good time. that is not safe for the baby neither for you.

Richard J. Brown, MD · Answer

No, No, No, No, No, No....you get the point. Not safe at all for your baby. Not to mention your breasts are changing so much that your result would be unpredictable. Put this one out of your mind. No surgeon who took the hippocratic oath should touch this one. First, do no harm!

Paul Gill, MD · Answer

It is not possible to get elective surgery while pregnant.   I would recommend waiting 3-4 months after you complete breast feeding prior to any elective breast surgery.   Best wishes with your pregnancy.
