Some things to consider before breast enhancement

Brian S. Glatt, MD answers: Breast Implants and Breast Lift after pregnancy

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

I agree with other opinions that there is no "textbook" answer to your question, but in my practice we generally recommend waiting at least 3 months until after you are finished breast feeding before performing breast surgery. 

One important thing to consider is whether or not you are planning to have another child.  If you are, then your breasts are likely to change again, and your ultimate result may very well be compromised! 

So, we recommend that you wait until after having all of the children that you plan to have prior to proceeding with post-baby breast surgery.  This requires a little bit of soul-searching sometimes, but ultimately is very worth it in the long run.

Hope this helps and good luck!
