Yes: There are no issues with remaining on birth control and having breast implant surgery. Some surgeons prescribe antibiotics after the surgery. Antibiotics may reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. Therefore, it may be necessary to take additional precautions for a month.

Yes : Most plastic surgeons feel comfortable performing breast augmentation surgery while patients remain on birth control medications. However, although controversial, some plastic surgeons are also concerned about the potential for deep venous thrombosis (clots), which may be a greater risk for patients who are on certain types of oral contraceptives.
