How long before I can have my breast implants after an excisional biopsy?

Question

I just had an excisional biopsy done to remove a calcification. Is it safe to get breast augmentation and how long do I have to wait for the augmentation surgery?

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

Once the acute inflammation has subsided after breast biopsy I would have no problem proceeding with a breast augmentation. This would be 3 to 6 weeks.

Thank you for your question.  Assuming your biopsy was benign, and your breast surgeon has cleared you for surgery, you should be able to pursue a breast augmentation once all the swelling in your breast has resolved and your breast skin and tissue has returned to normal.  Depending on the amount of surgery performed during the biopsy this may be in a couple of months to 4-6 months,
