Breast implants and breast feeding

Your posted photos show asymmetric breasts with the right breast hanging lower than and a different shape vs. the left. You will therefore need more than just putting in implants to obtain an optimal result. You need to wait until the breast milk machinery turns off and then some because if it is still working the implants will stimulate the production of more milk that possibly stays inside the breast. I would say a year after you think it is off. I hope you realize that this format of... more

Breast implants after breast feeding

Thank you for your question and the photos. It is customary to wait about three months after your milk has dried up before undergoing breast augmentation.

Your breasts appear to have a good amount of size assymetry and your right breast is more ptotic (sagging), potentially into lift territory. This may also improve if you give it more time before augmentation.

Breast Augmentation after Breast-feeding?

Thank you for the question than pictures. I would suggest that you wait at least 3 months after you have stopped breast-feeding before seeking consultation for breast augmentation.

Although difficult to give you precise advice based on the pictures provided, you do have some breast asymmetry and your right breast does appear to be lower on the chest wall compared to the left.... more
