Apart from the \u201cwhy\u201d women opt for breast surgery, another key consideration is the \u201cwhen\u201d of the surgery. Many of our patients ask if it\u2019s okay to get breast implants before having children, or if it\u2019s best to wait until after childbirth.<\/p>\n<p>In general, our answers vary. There are several factors to consider before we make a recommendation. Therefore, if you plan to enhance your breasts, it\u2019s best to <a href=\"\/about\/dr-evan-beale\/\">consult board-certified Dr. Beale<\/a>, an expert plastic surgeon on breast enhancement, so he can advise you on your options.<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, women can get breast implants anytime they want. Therefore, the choice is up to you if you want to get implants before or after you have children.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you plan to become pregnant in the near future, like within the next 12 months, it would be best to hold off on your <a href=\"\/breast\/breast-augmentation-dallas\/\">breast augmentation<\/a> plans. This is not to say that implants pose health risks to your child. Rather, it is just to get the most satisfying results out of your surgery.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you plan to have children in the distant future, then you can begin your breast surgery preparations as early as now. Here are additional factors to keep in mind as you consider the possibility of breast implants any time soon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/gallery\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-397\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drevanbeale.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-03-30-at-2.17.27-PM-300x96.png\" alt=\"Results from breast augmentation with Dr. Evan Beale\" width=\"300\" height=\"96\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drevanbeale.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-03-30-at-2.17.27-PM-300x96.png 300w, https:\/\/www.drevanbeale.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-03-30-at-2.17.27-PM-768x245.png 768w, https:\/\/www.drevanbeale.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-03-30-at-2.17.27-PM.png 949w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Breast Implant Safety<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Like most surgeries, breast augmentation has its own risks. However, as long as you consult with a doctor and a board-certified plastic surgeon performs the surgery, you can feel confident that the procedure will go as smoothly as possible. Breast implants are generally safe as long as you follow your doctor\u2019s instructions, especially when it comes to scheduled follow-up checkups.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the safety of implants for the patient, studies have confirmed that they won\u2019t raise the risk of birth defects in babies, whether during the gestational period or after childbirth.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Milk Production<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although it\u2019s safe to have implants even if you\u2019re pregnant, there\u2019s a chance that they can affect your breasts\u2019 ability to produce milk. Fortunately, Dr. Beale can advise you on the best implants, implant placement, and incision that can allow you to breastfeed your baby post-surgery.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Breast Augmentation Results<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The quality of your results may change after pregnancy, but it will depend on your age, your implants\u2019 age at the time of pregnancy, your breast tissues, and other factors. In most cases, mothers are still satisfied with their breasts even after pregnancy and breastfeeding.<\/p>\n<p>These are general guidelines to keep in mind if you decide to get breast implants before childbirth.
