Is it a bad idea to get breast implants before having a baby?

A well executed breast augmentation should not affect breast feeding, but there may be a remote risk depending upon the incision that is used. Timing of the surgery is a personal decision.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Regarding the safety or the procedure and the pregnancy, the risk of complications is very minimal, but you should understand that pregnancy alters your body, including your breasts, so if you would have implants before pregnancy, you will need a revision after to have bigger implants and this procedure would cost more money. Generally patients who plan on having a baby in the near future are advised to have the pregnancy first and then the breast augmentation.

It is hard impossible to know how your breast will respond to another pregnancy.  Breat implants themselves will not interfere with breast feeding and would not affect your baby but any changes in your breast shape or volume might mean another surgery after your second child.  There is not right answer other than for you to understand that you may need a lift after your pregnancy.  Weather to wait or go ahead with the implants is adiscussion for you, your partner, and your surgeon.  GOOD LUCK.

Thank you for the question. Timing of the breast augmentation is a very personal decision.  In general I advise patients if they are  planning on having  children in the near future (this is open to interpretation)  to wait on the breast augmentation procedure. Doing it this way will  potentially minimize  the number of operations  that the patient will undergo.  
Some common changes seen with the breasts  after pregnancy include "involutional  hypoplasia" (breasts  become smaller)  and/or breast ptosis (" drooping"). The changes the breasts experience may be related to genetic factors, skin elasticity changes, hormonal effects, and/or weight gain/loss around the time of pregnancy.
Best wishes.

There is no definitive answer to this question. Surgery can be done so that you can breast feed. Pregnancy causes changes in the breast and how much change cannot be predicted. Safe to say that you made want a secondary procedure after having children.
