Wait until breast milk production stops and breasts are smaller before breast lift

Brooke R. Seckel, MD answers: How soon after giving birth can I get a breast lift?

I have no plans to breastfeed and won't be having another pregnancy.

Usually 6 months is required for the breast gland to atrophy or involute after pregnancy if you dont breast feed.

The breast atrophies and becomes smaller which allows the breast skin to sag. You do not wnat this to happen after you have had your lift. I would wait 6 months at least, preferably a year.

See before and after photos of breast lift and augmentation.
