There’s no question that babies are living little miracles that bring endless joy to their mothers. However, if you currently have breast implants and are either expecting or trying for another baby, you may be wondering how your next pregnancy is going to affect the appearance of your breasts. Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid weight gain or loss when you’re a new or expecting mother, but how will these inevitable changes affect your breast implants? 
Some Things Won’t ChangeThe good news is that your next pregnancy won’t affect the integrity of your breast implants. What can have a residual effect on your implants is weight gain and the rate at which you gain weight while you’re expecting.According to plastic surgeon, Dr Safvat, women who prefer to breastfeed should still be able to nurse their babies, however, their breasts may increase in size depending on the type of implants they have. It’s also natural for a woman’s body to flood with hormones once she starts nursing, which is what often leads to sagging (breast ptosis). Fortunately, several studies have shown that women with breast implants won’t necessarily experience additional sagging just because they have implants. Every Pregnancy is DifferentNo two pregnancies are identical even women who have had multiple pregnancies often have very different experiences each time. One woman may gain weight very slowly throughout her entire pregnancy, while another woman will experience rapid weight gain within the first six months. Your body knows how to adjust when you gain weight but if you make a point of slowing these changes down during and after your pregnancy, your breast implants will fare much better. This is not to say that you should make decisions based on how your breasts will look after your pregnancy you should always do what’s right for your baby first. Your Implants May Appear Even More NaturalMany women who have gone through a pregnancy with implants have said that their breasts looked even more natural after their pregnancy. This is mainly because the top of the implant becomes slightly deflated due to the loss of skin elasticity during and after pregnancy.The size of your implants, as well as the natural size of your breasts, will also play a role in the appearance of your breasts post-pregnancy. Keep in mind that your body is going to go through some changes during your pregnancy whether you want it to or not, so try to be kind to yourself during this period. It’s recommended that you only make a final call on the appearance of your breasts at least 6 months after your pregnancy. If you are still nursing, you may want to wait longer. If you are planning to fall pregnant in the near future but don’t have breast implants yet, it’s best to wait until after your pregnancy to schedule your surgery. There really is no sure-fire way to determine how pregnancy will affect the appearance of your breast implants but maintaining a healthy lifestyle during and after your pregnancy will certainly make a difference.
