Should Implants Be Removed Before Pregnancy?

As a pregnant women, there are likely so many thoughts running through your mind before delivery. Will the baby be healthy? Will I be okay? And then there’s the eventual joy of the birth and the bonding that comes with the first breastfeed. If you have breast implants, you may be worrying about the many myths on whether or not you can breastfeed with implants. Also, will pregnancy affect your implants? Should you undergo breast implant removal? . Learn more about how pregnancy can affect your breast implants.

Do Breast Implants Affect Breastfeeding?

When placed correctly, implants are placed between the chest wall and the breast tissue. This helps to prevent any interference with the mammary glands that produce milk. Even during breast augmentation, enough tissue can be left to allow for milk production so a woman can breastfeed her new baby without worry that her implants are negatively affecting her breast feeding experience.

Can Pregnancy Affect the Integrity of Implants?

Pregnancy should not affect the integrity of implants themselves. However, depending on weight gained during pregnancy and the rate at which the weight is gained, there may be a residual effect on the implants. Every woman’s body is different, so there may be slight changes in the appearance of the breasts, but some women have reported a more natural appearance after pregnancy.

Women Have Different Pregnancy Experiences

As mentioned before, every woman is different, so every pregnancy journey will be different. While some women may gain weight slowly and steadily, others may gain weight and/or lose within a short period.  Either way removing your implants before pregnancy should not be a concern. Instead, importance should be placed on practicing healthy habits for both mom and baby during the pregnancy. Eating healthy foods and exercising when comfortable will help maintain weight goals your obstetrician recommends. Staying healthy will work toward maintaining the shape and contour of your chest.

Gynecomastia is the medical term for enlarged breasts in men. Approximately 15 million males in the United States experience gynecomastia at any given time. It can be found in either one breast or both, and it can sometimes cause a noticeable imbalance in the size of the breasts. Though it is often a painless condition, men who suffer from it may experience feelings of embarrassment or shyness.⁠

Body after Baby🤱🏼❗️⁠

Childbirth is a truly miraculous event, and you shouldn’t have to settle for a physique you find unsatisfying. With the Mommy Makeover, South Jersey and surrounding area moms can fight the physical effects of motherhood and shift their focus to the more magical elements of parenthood. ⁠

As with any invasive procedure, it is absolutely paramount that the patient be otherwise healthy before undergoing surgery. Dr. Franckle also advises that patients stop smoking prior to surgery to promote proper healing and recovery. It is also necessary to allow your body ample time to heal after childbirth before undergoing major surgery.⁠

❗️FALSE❗️⁠


Fact: A facelift can reposition tissue and address the neck area in ways fillers cannot. However, fillers are excellent for adding lost facial volume and giving a boost to your skin. They’re a great short-term, nonsurgical way to fight the signs of aging. If you’re unsure about committing to a facelift, give facial fillers a try.⁠

👇🏻What Is a Brow Lift❗️⁠
No two brow lift procedures will look the same. Each and every surgery is designed by Dr. Franckle to fit the patient’s particular needs. Commonly, a brow lift is used to eliminate the wrinkles that crease across the forehead, to help reduce the lines on the bridge of the nose, and to improve frown lines that form vertical creases between the eyebrows. For some, this procedure can also lift the eyebrows, raising sagging skin that is hooding the upper eyelids and revealing a lifted, more youthful appearance. The brow lift is a versatile surgery that can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to decrease the effects of aging over the entire face.⁠

❗️Fun Fact: If plastic surgeons only operated on the 1%, we wouldn't have a thriving plastic surgery industry.⁠

Most aesthetic patients are not the rich and famous, but are average people who simply wish to restore confidence, enhance their overall appearance and improve their lives.⁠
