Second breast enlargement
Hello. Technically you can have a second breast enlargement as soon as you know you are unhappy with your current size. That being said I would advise you to give your implants time to settle and see your final result before doing so.

How long before second breast implant procedure?
Technically, you could have another breast augmentation the day after you did the first one. In reality, however, it is probably good to wait three to six months before doing so. I generally don't look at the final results of a breast augmentation procedure before then because the tissue is still changing, swelling is going away, and the implants are settling.

Timing of second breast augmentation
Generally, it is best to wait at least three months before any revisional breast surgery. Ideally, if you can wait more than 6 months, the tissues will be even more settled from the original surgery. Some of this depends on what the reason for the second surgery is for.

Second breast enlargement
In general if things have healed well, a revision breast augmentation can probably be performed at 4-6 months after your initial surgery.

How soon for re-do BA
I think 3 months is a minimum so as to allow the implants to settle and the tissue to heal and soften. It is difficult to work with tissue that has recently been operated upon. If you can wait 6+ months that would generally be even better.

Secondary Breast Surgery
I usually like to have my patients wait approximately 6 months before having a secondary breast augmentation. This allows ample time for all post-surgical swelling to decrease and gives me a safe time frame for re-operation.

Timing of Second Breast Implant Surgery
One should wait a minimum of three months with six months even better. It takes time to adapt to a new breast size and how you feel in the first month after surgery may be completely different several months later.

2nd Breast Augmentation
You did not state the reason for your question. If you want to increase the size, you should wait at least 6 months for a second surgery. If you want to go smaller, sometimes that can be done sooner. Best of luck to you!

"second enlargement" timing
I am sorry that you are having to consider having another surgery to get your desired results - it is best to wait six months to allow the implants to settle and be sure that you in fact want to have another surgery. Surgery could be considered sooner in some cases, however.
