I’ve had silicone implants in for 10years now so I know I’m due for a revision anyway. But lately I feel some pain and hardness in the right breast. I’m pretty sure it’s ruptured. The problem is, I’m still nursing my toddler. How long do I need to wait after stopping nursing before I can get either an explant or a revision? I haven’t decided which one I want yet.

Answer: Breast surgery after nursing Typically you will want to wait 6 months after you have finished nursing before having breast surgery. This will give time for the breasts to return to a baseline state. The added advantage is this may help you determine if you simply want removal or if you are interested in a revision.

Answer: Breast Implant rupture but still nursing - how long do I need to wait after nursing to get an explant? Hello @MeUCantSee, thank you for your question. Is posible to have your surgery six months after you finish breast feeding the reason to wait is so that your breasts have time and space in order complete the changes in your breast after giving birth related to breastfeeding. If you are considering a breast explantation, consultation with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
