Saline breast implant removal under muscle - should I do it now before fertility treatment, or after I have baby #2?

Based on your questions, I do not think you are ready to proceed with breast surgery. I would suggest go ahead and have all the children you want, and then see how you like your breast size and shape.

You can elect to have your implants removed by either the surgeon who placed them or another board certified plastic surgeon. The timing of the removal is up to you. Are you removing them because you feel they are too large for you? If so you may want to remove them prior to pregnancy as the breasts will be larger and perhaps more sensitive due to hormone changes.

Hello @81818181, thank you for your question. It is best for your health to remove the implants as soon as possible since you have had them for 15 years. Pregnancy and pregnancy treatments cause hormonal changes, which is why it is better to be without a prosthesis. I suggest you look for a surgeon who has experience in explantation. If you already have one that will help you to obtain an adequate result, also in terms of aesthetics. As for breast fat transfer is best to wait 3 months at least after breast implant removal. If you are considering a breast explantation, consultation with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
