Abortion before Breast Augmentation - Will I be okay to have surgery?

Thank you for your question. Having surgery within 4-6 weeks assumes that your medical abortion proceeds without any delays in response or recovery. I would recommend delaying your breast augmentation 2-4 weeks to ensure full recovery.

Hi & thanks for your question.
It is up to your surgeon if he or she is comfortable with you having surgery 4 weeks out. Contact the practice with you question and concerns regarding this. Best wishes!

Hello, thank you for your question. You should speak with your surgeon . Need to make sure your HCG is negative, if the test is positive your surgery will be reschedule. I tell my patients at least 6 months.

Hello, thank you for your question. The pill will cause you to shed the uterine lining and essentially the embryo would shed out in the form of menstrual cycle. They say to allow 4 weeks because it may affect your hemoglobin levels. This is the level measuring in the blood work to see if whether or not you are anemic. If there is any anemia and you will undergo surgery, the concern is having blood loss. You should speak to your plastic surgeon to discuss the surgery and the estimated blood loss. Ultimately they will have to give the "go ahead"

Hello and thank you for your question.
It should be safe to perform breast augmentation surgery 4-6 weeks after the abortion but I would definitely discuss your questions and concerns with your Gynecologist and Plastic Surgeon.
I hope this helps. Best, Dr. Karanetz

After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Dear RSProfile5390400,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

It is best to discuss this with your surgeon as opinions may vary. Your hormone levels will need to have returned to normal as a pregnancy test is performed routinely and must show a negative result.

Thanks for your question. You should be fine to proceed with your breast augmentation at that time, but you should also consult your plastic surgeon for further clarification.

This is a question for your surgeon. Need to make sure your HCG levels are normal after the abortion and that can take time. I tell my patients at least 4 weeks but prefer 6 weeks.
