How long do I have to wait for a breast lift after explant surgery?

conniesarah
Female, Caucasian, 50's, Original Surgeon Retired. I am interested in getting breast implant removal and seeing how my breasts look after the explant before committing to a lift. If I decide after the surgery that I would like to have a lift, how long do I have to wait after the explant surgery? Thank you : )
