I am a 24 mother of two. I stopped breastfeeding my one-year-old child when he was 3 months old (over 9 months ago). My breasts have reached their post-partum normalcy, but I am still able to express very small amounts of milk if I squeeze my breast. How much longer should I wait before I should consider myself a good candidate for breast implants?
Answer: "How Long After Breast-feeding Can I Get Breast Implants?" You should wait 3 - 6 months after you are done breastfeeding to get implants. The purpose of this time period is that you want your hormones to return to pre-pregnancy levels. Additionally, you want your breasts to go back to pre-pregnancy size, no longer swollen with milk. You are the best judge of when your breasts have returned to what they looked like before you were pregnant. I hope that answers your question on getting implants after breastfeeding. It’s great that you’re doing this research. I always say that the best patients are informed patients. You might also want to research your options for breast implants. Choosing the right implant is the number one concern among women considering breast augmentation. Did you know, there’s actually a way to select a implant shape, size, and profile that is perfect for you? A term that I use with my patients for the perfect implant is the “Pony Implant”. So what do I mean by “perfect”? Well, a Pony Implant has three qualities to it. First, the implant meets your beauty goals. For example, you want to your breasts to look fuller while still appearing natural. Second, when you chose your Pony Implant, you walk out of your consultation 100% confident that you’ve chosen the right shape and size for you. In other words, you won’t be second guessing your decision, and you won’t be afraid of having gone too big or too small. And third, after your procedure, you are thrilled with your results, and say, "I’m so happy. This is exactly what I wanted!" That’s the Pony Implant. And the great news is that there is a simple process to go about finding yours. This issue of selecting the right implant is so important when it comes to patient satisfaction or dissatisfaction that, again, I really encourage you to learn more about it. Thank you for reading and best of luck on your journey!

Answer: How long after breast feeding can I get breast implants? Thank you for your question. The general recommendation is that patients wait at least 3-6 months from the time that they last breast fed or pumped before undergoing a breast augmentation procedure. We recommend waiting this period of time because it will allow you to reach your final postpartum breast size and will allow us to choose the best implant size for your frame. Regarding the breast milk that you are still expressing, it is typically recommended that you wait until this ceases as the presence of breast milk could increase your risk for an infection of capsular formation around your implant. I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck!
