Best Time for Breast Surgery - Before or After Menstrual Cycle?

I personally have never tried to time the surgery based on a patients menstrual cycle. Sometimes a womans breasts will become slightly larger during certain phases of the menstrual cycle and this will continue to occur after the surgery.

I have found a an individual's breast symptom history to be the best guide to timing surgery. Fortunately most patients do not have much variation in symptoms with menstruation and timing is independent. However, for individuals with highly sensitive breasts, it would be wise from a symptom perspective to time the augmentation when it is least discomfort. Risks of physical surgical complications from menstrual cycle changes are not documented.
