People with uteruses are still able to get pregnant after having a mastectomy/masculine chest reconstruction. If they do get pregnant, the person can experience swelling in the chest area and may possibly start lactating. These changes may be upsetting but they almost always go away after the pregnancy is over.<ref>{{cite web|last=Froom|first=Moss|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CNAX9_-AcTr/|title=Chest Swelling In Pregnancy Is To Be Expected Even After Top Surgery|date=29 March 2021|access-date=1 November 2021|quote=Because some lactation related tissues usually remain after top surgery, and because gestating bodies do wild and magical things like healing severed tissues and growing new ones, some amount of chest swelling is to be expected. This can be a freaky experience! Some people get scared that they will have to have surgery all over again, or have top surgery revision, to get back their flat chests after their babies are born.

Every body and every surgery is different, so it’s impossible to predict how much swelling and lactation any individual person will experience, but it’s good to know that swelling and lactation are possible even after a flattening chest surgery!|archive-url= | People with uteruses are still able to get pregnant after having a mastectomy/masculine chest reconstruction.
