Is Two Months After Breastfeeding Long Enough to Wait, Before I Get Breast Augmentation?

I usually recommend patients wait for 6 months after they've stopped breastfeeding before they undergo surgery. April is definitely too early for you, although you should ask your PS for their advice.

I suggest waiting 6 months or preferably a year after finish
breast-feeding before you have breast augmentation surgery. It takes
time for the breast gland to return to a normal state after
breast-feeding. If you have breast augmentation too early many of the
glands are still producing milk, and have not atrophied or reduced in
size. You want the gland to be in its final state before surgery. If
you have breast augmentation while the gland is still enlarged and it
reduces in size later this may affect your result.
Be sure to consult a plastic surgeon who is certified by the
American Board of Plastic Surgery, experienced in your procedure, and who has
an excellent reputation in your community.

Hi!

Thank you for your question.

I usually suggest around a 6 month waiting period in order to begin
considering a breast augmentation after breastfeeding. You want to
make sure your milk production has completely stopped in order to
minimize any chance of infection. I agree with the other doctors, why
risk it if you can wait? If you have any more questions I would
suggest consulting a board certified plastic surgeon.

 

Good luck!
