How long should I wait after breastfeeding before I undergo a breast lift?

The idea is that we do not want to operate on a breast that is still decreasing in size for the best results, we want the breast size and shape to reach a stable state.  While different numbers are thrown about, most women reach that point approximately 4-6 months after stopping breast feeding.

Good Luck.
