Question

Can I still go through with it? If I do go through with it, what are the thing that can happen

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

No, you will not be able to undergo elective breast surgery while you are pregnant. I'm sure, once you inform your plastic surgeon of your pregnancy, he/she will let you know of the  need to postpone the breast surgery. Best wishes for a healthy pregnancy.

Thanks for your question.No, you should not go ahead with Breast Reduction Surgery when you are 4 weeks pregnant.The risk to the foetus is high. Your Breasts will go through significant changes in the next 18 months due to pregnancy and breast feeding.Hope this helps

Douglas J. Mackenzie, MD · Answer

Absolutely not. No competent surgeon would operate on you and no competent anesthesiologist would put you to sleep for anything but emergency surgery while you are pregnant.

Terrence Murphy, MD · Answer

No now is not the time for surgery.  There are many reasons for this.  Finish the pregnancy and allow your breasts to recover form the effects of pregnancy and go from there.

Ronald V. DeMars, MD (Retired) · Answer

The answer is absolutely not. No anesthesiologist would even consider giving an anesthetic to a pregnant woman.
