Breast Enhancement and Before or After Pregnancy

Many young women consider getting breast enhancement surgery and go through with it before considering whether or not they will become a mother some day. You may be concerned if you are one of these young women. Will you be able to breast feed? How will carrying a child affect your augmentation surgery? Breasts play such a integral role in pregnancy and it is important to understand the complications for future pregnancies.

If you are considering getting implants before having children, it’s really not as difficult as you might think. Most plastic surgeons do, however, suggest that you should wait at least six month after surgery before trying to get pregnant. It’s important not necessarily be able to breast feed but to properly recover from the surgical procedure. Breast enhancement can take a while to properly heal in order to function like normal breasts.

If you’re worried whether you will be able to breastfeed, don’t panic. You will be able to breast feed your child, however, there is the same likelihood that you will not be able to breast feed with implants as without. You may be worried that if you are unable to you might attribute your implants as the cause but it should not adversely affect your ability to produce milk for your child. You should also know that if you are able to, your milk is not affected by the implant. It is completely false that the implants will poison or compromise the health of your breast milk. If you are unable to produce breast milk it has nothing to do with the fact that you had surgery and if you do produce, your milk is not affected.

You do need to know that because pregnancy puts your body through a lot, it will affect the quality of your breast enhancement just as it would a natural pair of breasts. You may consider getting revision surgery after breast-feeding in order to revitalize your look. It is popular for women to get a breast lift after pregnancy, whether or not they have previously undergone enhancement surgery. This may be a good option for you.

If you are considering breast augmentation after pregnancy, again, it’s important to wait six months for your body to wait to recover from the pregnancy. This also gives you plenty of time to properly breast feed your child. If you choose to breast feed your child more than six months, you should wait until you have finished breast-feeding. Although previous surgery will not affect your ability to produce milk, having surgery in the middle of breast-feeding will affect your ability to continue to produce. You may also want to consider waiting longer. Raising a child can take a considerable amount of time and physical effort. Unless you have the help you need, it will be difficult to raise you child and properly recover from surgery.

Breast implants are safe before and after pregnancy but you should consult with your doctor about how your body will react to these profound life events.
