Will It Be a Problem If You Get Pregnant After Your Cosmetic Breast Surgery?

 When it comes to the matter of cosmetic breast surgeries such as breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, anyone considering to undergo one of these operations may be wondering if it will be a problem if they get pregnant after their operation. Two main conditions can be mentioned as factors affecting the results to be gained from cosmetic breast surgeries. The first one is pregnancy and breastfeeding, and the second one is intense weight gains and losses.

Due to the changes that occur in the breasts during the processes of pregnancy and breastfeeding, changes in the shape, volume and firmness of the breasts may occur. Some of these changes are already targeted to be improved by cosmetic breast surgeries. For example, due to pregnancy and breastfeeding, the breasts can first increase in volume and then experience a volume loss after these processes are completed. Loss of firmness, looseness, sagging may ocur in the breasts. Therefore, for someone who is planning to go through pregnancy and breastfeeding in the near future, it can be recommended to postpone their cosmetic breast surgery until these processes are completed.

People are considering both to have a cosmetic breast surgery and to have a child and breastfeed in the future, naturally may be wondering if cosmetic breast surgeries affect breastfeeding or not. Various factors related to cosmetic breast surgeries can affect breastfeeding. These factors can be summarized as: The surgical technique, the plane where implants are placed in, scar tissur formation in inner breast tissue, the amount and the type of tissue that is removed, the amount of glandular tissue before and after the surgery and the nipple sensitivity.

In general, it can be stated that if you get pregnant after your cosmetic breast surgery, it is not expected to cause any health problems. What may be expressed as a problem may be mentioned as the changes in the shape and consistency of the breasts and, if any, a reduction or an impairment in the ability to breastfeed. Breastfeeding is generally not expected to be affected after breast augmentation surgeries. This possibility increases slightly in breast lift operations, and it is more in breast reduction surgeries. As pregnancy and breastfeeding processes affect the shape and consistency of the breasts, the results obtained from a cosmetic breast surgery after these processes should not be expected to remain the same.
