It's a great question. I would ask your surgeon their specific recommendations, but in general I would wait six weeks, until the eyelids have healed fully, before proceeding with breast surgery.

Thank you for sharing your question and photos. Although it sounds like you may be genetically predisposed to eyelid ptosis and you may very well need surgery in the future, I do not think you are there yet.
