I just weaned my youngest and have a consultation booked in the next 2 months, how soon after weaning can I get implants?
Answer: Breast Augmentation after weaning a breast fed baby Thank you for the question. Congratulations on your recent pregnancy. I recommend waiting six months after finishing breastfeeding prior to having a breast augmentation. It will give your breasts a chance to settle in and return to their normal size. Timing of surgery, should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon, during consultation. Make sure you choose an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon. Take your time researching surgeons and their qualifications, look at before-and-after photos, and try to find patients who have used the surgeons before. Best of Luck Dr. Romanelli

Answer: Breast Surgery Following Pregnancy and Breast Feeding Congratulations on the birth of your baby. As you are well aware, the body undergoes many changes during pregnancy. It is recommended that patients give their bodies at least 6 months to return to their pre-pregnancy state. Breast feeding moms should wait at least 3 months after they’ve weaned the baby off the breast to ensure that lactation has completely ceased. Although breast feeding has been found to speed up the pregnancy weight loss, it can have an effect on the shape and size of the breasts. The ideal candidate for surgery will have maintained a stable weight for a few months as any changes to weight will have a direct effect on the final results. Once the patient has reached their ideal weight, they are encouraged to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person consultation to discuss their options for surgery. All the best!

Answer: Implants after baby I think your time frame for evaluation in two months is a good one. Every patient is different but when you have the sense that your breasts have stabilized that's the time to move forward. This could be as soon as two months or sometimes can take up to a year. I would also suggest you monitor not just your breasts but your body as a whole. Once you feel like you are back to baseline in all areas, that's the safest time to move forward.

Answer: Breast contouring #mastopexy #breastlift #breastimplants Dear mkmcknightThank you for your question! The timing depends on the changes in breast contour/size post breast feeding - if you have stopped losing volume - then sizing and shaping can be more accurately determined. Form some women this can be after 2 to 3 months.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD
