How long after pregnancy should I wait before I can get breast implants and undergo breast lift?

It would be wise to wait at least 6 months and to be sure you are done having children before undergoing breast surgery post pregnancy. This gives you a chance to recover from pregnancy and for your tissues and weight to normalize as much as possible.

A: depends on your situation

There are several things to consider in this situation, so there is no single answer. I usually recommend a minimum of 3 months after you are done breast feeding. Another important thing to consider is your recovery with a small child to take care of. Your plastic surgeon may recommend that you avoid lifting for a period of time.
