How long should I wait, after a breast lift, to get implants? 6 months post op.

Thank you for your question, 3 months is a good time for additional surgery,consult with your PS to consider your options.

Thank you for your question.  I would recommend discussing surgical timing with your operating surgeon directly as he/she is most familiar with your specific case.  With that said, I would venture to say that as long as you have healed well and have not experienced any recent changes in the last 3 months that you can most likely proceed with a breast augmentation at this point.  Please make sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.  I wish you all of the best.

I would agree with 3-6 months after a fat transfer to make sure healed before adding an implant. I think you can proceed anytime. Good luck.

Dear ocuhoops,you should wait until you are fully healed. Most plastic surgeons would recommend you to wait 3-6 months so you should be able to get the revision surgery now. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. You will get the best recommendations after a thorough examination.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

you should be able to get implants now. enough healing time have pass. make sure you see a board certified Plastic Surgeon.

Thank you for your question. As long as you had no healing problems or complications e.g. infection after you last surgery (breast lift with fat transfer), it is reasonable to proceed with placement of breast implants at this time. Unfortunately not all the fat transferred is during such a procedure is ever expected to stay long term, and you may see even more fat "disappear" over the next few months. Plastic Surgeons refer to as the "take rate", which can vary between approximatly 30-50%. I recommend to be seen and examined by a board certified plastic surgeon to guide you in your breast implant selection process for you to achieve your desired breast size and outcome. 

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  If your breast tissues have fully healed and show no signs of swelling or significant changes in appearance then you can have implants placed.  Hope this helps.

Hi there thanks for your question. Six months post your breast lift is enough time for you to proceed with the second procedure. Fat transfer has an absorption rate 30-40%, and may not give the expected results. You can go ahead and plan for breast implant which will give you  the desired size. Meet a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination and consultation. good luck.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
I would recommend to wait six months between surgeries, but remember that all depends on your health and lab tests.
l suggest you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

The key is that your breasts have settled and stabilized before having another surgery.  Specifically, your skin should be soft, the swelling resolved and size and shape settled.  Usually, 6 months a good time point for these things, but with fat grafting it can make things a little more dynamic.  If you feel like they are still changing then I would recommend you wait until they are stable for 2-3 months.  A discussion and evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon is important to determine goals, establish realistic expectations and develop a solid operative plan.
