Hello, I might undergo breast augmentation soon; I was just curious why should I consider having a pregnancy test if am not married? I do not live in the States, I live in Beirut. I haven't asked my surgeon about it since I didn't take an appointment yet to re ask my doctor , but I was just curious since I was reading the comments and so I asked. Thanks for taking my question into consideration, highly appreciated.

Answer: Pregancy test before breast augmentation If you think there is a chance you could be pregnant, a pregnancy test is in order. It is not a good idea to be pregnant at the time of elective surgery as the anaesthesia or drugs you take could effect the baby. (That being said, I can tell you I have had a couple patients who were pregnant at the time of their surgery and didn't know it, and their babies turned out perfectly fine :-)

Answer: You should not be pregnant at the time of your surgery If you are pregnant at the time of your surgery, the anesthetic drugs and other drugs given to you can cause birth defects. You should not be pregnant. It therefore makes sense to make sure you're not pregnant via a pregnancy test rather than taking your word for it because you may not even realize that you are pregnant. It's just a routine step.
