I am 6 weeks pregnant and scheduled for an abortion (pill form not surgical abortion) in a few days. My breast augmentation surgery date is exactly 4 weeks away from my abortion date. I’ve heard to wait 4-6 weeks after an abortion to get a breast augmentation. Will I be okay to have the surgery on that date? On the day of my surgery I will be exactly 4 weeks after having an abortion. Thanks in advance
