This is a question best answered by your gynecologist/obstetrician. After that a consultation with a plastic surgeon can help you decide if you're a good candidate for breast augmentation. Good luck.

The answer to that will more likely come from your OB/GYN than from a plastic surgeon. Start there, and once you get a handle on this issue, then seek a consult with a plastic surgeon for breast augmentation.

If you are truly lactating for 3 years post pregnancy then you should be evaluated by your OB - GYN for a hormonal abnormality. A small amount of secretion is not unusual but if it is greater than this then a more thorough evaluation is indicated.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Some patients lactate for along period of time, best to have this worked up by our OB/GYN first before undergoing an augmentation.

You should have this checked out by your primary care doctor or gynecologist before considering breast surgery.
