In my San Francisco area practice we ask patients to wait for 3 - 6 months after they have stopped breast feeding before performing breast augmentation.
It takes at least this much time for your breasts to return to a non-lactating, post-partum size. Waiting allows you to find an implant size that is correct for you.
Milk production may continue for some period after you have stopped breast feeding. This can cause problems with wound healing and infection.
In addition make sure you have coordinated enough support and help at home as you may be sore and using pain medications for a few days post-op.
I hope this helps.
