Wait until lactation is complete before having any aesthetic breast surgery.

The volume that remains will be stable and the decision to use an implant concurrently can be made intelligently.

Breast lift after breast feeding
I believe most surgeons, including myself, would consider you a good candidate for a breast lift 6 months following your breastfeeding.

Breast feeding and lactation may artificially increase breast volume and dimensions because of the hormonal response of the breast parenchyma during that period. Most surgeons would recommend waiting 6 months after breast feeding before performing breast contouring surgery.

Waiting after breastfeeding for breast lift
The idea is that we do not want to operate on a breast that is still decreasing in size for the best results, we want the breast size and shape to reach a stable state. While different numbers are thrown about, most women reach that point approximately 4-6 months after stopping breast feeding.
Good Luck.
