There are several lifestyle factors which may potentially impact the results of your breast augmentation procedure. One of these is pregnancy and childbirth. Therefore, it is important to discuss any future pregnancy plans you may have with Dr. Savalia during your initial consultation.
In general, breast augmentation will not impact your pregnancy in any way and in most cases, it should not affect your ability to breastfeed. However, in certain instances breast augmentation can place pressure on the milk ducts, making breastfeeding after breast augmentation more challenging. Fortunately, Dr. Savalia can take certain steps to reduce complications with breastfeeding by altering your breast implant placement and choosing an incision option that does not affect your nipple.
The main consideration regarding breast augmentation and pregnancy involves how future childbirths will impact the longevity of your outcome. In many instances, pregnancy and breastfeeding can adversely impact your results. For this reason, many women choose to wait until they are done having children to undergo breast augmentation.
If you are planning on having children in the near future, this may be the best course of action. By waiting to have your breast augmentation, Dr. Savalia will be able to customize your procedure in a manner that restores your breasts to their pre-pregnancy perkiness while still improving their size and shape.
But if having children is still something you consider to be “long-range plans,” then you may want to move forward with your procedure right now. Dr. Savalia can still tailor your procedure to address these future plans as best as possible. And if you find that a future pregnancy does impact your results, Dr. Savalia can always address these issues at a later date with a mommy makeover.
