I’m 30 and finished having kids about a year ago. I’m 5’1” 130lbs. I’m still getting in shape but it’s more of a lifetime plan. At what point should I get a breast lift if my body is still changing?
Answer: Now would be fine Hi Optimistic754027, Prior to a breast lift, I make sure that 1) patients are done having kids and 2) that they are done breastfeeding their child for at least 3-6 months. That is a good time for a consultation to discuss goals, as your breasts should no longer be engorged. That 3-6 month timeframe after breast feeding is the earliest a consultation would be appropriate...but there is no rush or urgency. You would likely be fine candidate for a breast lift at any point in the next decade, so don't feel rushed. Hope this helps.

Answer: Body contouring procedures are best done when the patient is at a stable weight As you are well aware, women undergo many changes to their breasts and body during and after pregnancy. The changes that can occur will continue for years after. It is safe a mastopexy procedure 1 year postpartum, However if your weight fluctuates greatly, it is best to wait until your body weight and shape have been consistent for approximately 1 year. Based on your height and weight listed, you are at a healthy weight for this procedure. If you are still noticing her body change, I would wait to discuss this procedure with the surgeon until you have had minimal change in your body shape for 6 months. Mommy-Makeover surgeries like breast lifts and tummy tucks are some of the most common surgeries we do in our office. Please see the attached length for more information on this topic.

Answer: Breasts Pregnancy and breast feeding change the breasts the most. Weight gain and loss is second. If your weight is stable and you do not plan to have more children, then go ahead with the lift if you want.

Answer: 30 years old and finished having kids: when is the best time to have breast lift if my body is still changing? Hello @Optimistic754027, 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. I suggest you wait 6 months to have the most adequate aesthetic result long term as well. It is important that you have a consultation with a board certified specialist to determine a surgical plan according to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Breast lift timing The best time to consider a breast lift is when you have finished having children, have stopped breastfeeding for 6 or months, and you are at your goal weight and stable there. You can opt to have your breast lift now even if you are losing weight, but your results can be impacted by weight fluctuations in the future.
