Will I be OK going through an IVF process 3 months post-op breast augmentation?

Hello and Great Question.  I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure.  My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel.  I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Cosmetic Breast Augmentation Specialist.
After 3 months you should be fully healed, however, if you do become pregnant, it may change your breasts.  I would suggest holding off on surgery till you are done having children.
I hope that helps!  Best of Luck!

There should be no problem with this however it is a question for the fertility specialist.  Check with them first.

Thanks for your question...After 3 months you should be fully healed. You should be able to undergo IVF treatment. If you do become pregnant, it may change your breasts.Please consult your surgeon if you are still concerned.You can learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix.

Dear badangz,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

if you're thinking IVF so soon after your planned augmentation.  Why risk anything to your breasts when contemplating pregnancy.  If successful, your mounds will engorge as well and stretch marks are more likely if you already have implants in place.  So if you're dead set on IVF and pregnancy, go for it and enjoy the experience and then when you are done with having children, then go for your 'mommy makeover' and have long lasting results.

Thank you for your question.  I would not expect any problems with IVF after breast augmentation.  The pregnancy may effect your breast augmentation results a little but should not cause any complications. Discuss any concerns you have with your IVF specialist and plastic surgeon.Jeffrey Thaxton, MD FACSCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Thank you for the question.  Although you will be "OK" going through in vitro fertilization three months postop breast augmentation, I would likely suggest that you wait on undergoing elective breast surgery until you have completed pregnancies (since they are planned in the near future).Generally however (everything else being equal) it is best to wait until after pregnancy to have any type of breast surgery.  It is not possible to predict exactly how a specific patient's breast will change after pregnancy,  regardless of whether the patient has had previous breast surgery or not.  Some typical changes seen  after pregnancy include a decrease in size, “sagging" and/or the development of some asymmetry.  On the other hand, some women  experience very little change even after several pregnancies.
Best wishes with your decision-making and for outcomes that you will be very pleased with.

At 3 months post op, you should be fine to go through the process.  Pregnancy may alter the breast, but I would recommend you wear a good support bra.  This should help.  Check in with all treating physicians.

the hormones for IVF and the subsequent pregnancy can alter your breasts due to the hormones but will have no effect on the implants. wait until the entire pregnancy and breast feeding are completely finished plus at least 3 moths, before considering doing any tune up to your breast appearance.from a safely standpoint, you have nothing to worry about doing IVF after a BA.best of luckdavid berman
