Is it possible to get a breast augmentation when I'm still producing milk? Before I was a D cup. Went up to an F cup during my pregnancy&after. Now 8 months later Im down to a C. I know I still have milk,because the pressure has been killing me for 8months,not to mention I wake up with my shirt soaked,Ive tried everything to dry them up... I have so much extra skin & stretch marks, I need to know if its possible?
Answer: Wait Until After Breastfeeding You should probably wait until about 6 months after you've stopped producing milk before considering a breast augmentation. This is because it's best to wait until after the effects of breast milk production subside. Your breasts may be affected by ptosis, and a breast augmentation alone may not be sufficient in achieving the results you want. At that time, you may want to consider a breast lift as well.

Answer: Breast Augment Timing after Pregnancy Speak with your Plastic Surgeon re: best timing for breast augmentation with silicone or saline implants is when you are all finished with breast feeding, I recommend waiting until your breasts are back to baseline which takes several months following breast feeding. I would recommend waiting a minimum of 6 months and 1 year is even better.

Answer: Breast implant augmentation while nursing
Generally speaking, it is not advisable to have breast implant augmentation while nursing due to concerns of promoting more lactation or implant colonization and biofilm formation

Answer: Breast augmentation surgery after breast feeding.
It is possible to have surgery if your breasts have completely stopped changing, but still having milk production means that you are not done changing yet. You can talk with your OB/GYN about helping to relieve the pressure you are feeling and dry up your milk. After the milk is dried up you want to make sure that the size of your breasts is stable.
From your description and (non-standard) photo you may actually require a little lift in addition to the augmentation.

Answer: Do NOT Do Breast Augmentation Until Milk Production is stopped
Based on scientific data, these are the recommendations on breast augmentation at the time of lactation:
it is highly recommended to delay breast augmentation until after you stop lactating.
Milk can have bacteria that can contaminate the implant and cause infection or capsular contracture.
It is best to wait for 3 months.
There are new medications that help to dry up the milk production.
Hope this was helpful.
