You must be fully recovered so around 3 months minimum and not taking any of the medications prescribed for pain after BA

Austin Hayes, MD · Answer

I would speak with your surgeon about their specific recommendations, but you should be able to get pregnant at any time. It's important to know that breast augmentation will not affect your ability to nurse your baby, it does not affect your breast milk, and also won't affect your ability to undergo routine mammography (breast imaging). When considering breast augmentation make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon who will take the time to answer all of your questions and explain all of your options, so that you can decide if breast augmentation is right for you.

Once you have recovered from your breast augmentation surgery and are not on any medications that would influence your pregnancy then it is safe to get pregnant.

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

It's probably better to wait a few months before having a child. This will allow your body to adequately recover first from your surgery before it spends the energy on your pregnancy.

Otto Joseph Placik, MD · Answer

Studies have been conducted which show that the pregnancy itself has more to do with causing sagging (ptosis) after pregnancy than nursing itself. Therefore be prepared to accept some degree of sagging with your breast tissue over the underlying implant. Having said that, it probably would be safe for you to concieve at this point in time.
