Im sure this has been asked before. I quit breastfeeding almost 4 months ago. Im getting my first consultation in a few weeks and plan to schedule the surgery for the 6+ month mark. However I checked to see if i still had milk and a little came out. Does the milk have to be completely gone before the surgery?

Answer: Breast augmentation after breastfeeding Many plastic surgeons will wait six months after breastfeeding before performing a breast augmentation. This allows the tissues in the breast enough time to return to their baseline and ensure a more predictable result. Make sure to have a consultation by a plastic surgeon certified before the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and you'll be able to discuss the proper timing for you.Best of luck,Keith M.

Answer: Does breastmilk need to be completely dried up before surgery? Thank you for your excellent question. It is recommended that a woman wait at least three months and oftentimes up to 6 for a breast augmentation after breastfeeding so that their glandular tissue is no longer producing milk and is at its new baseline. Though a small amount of discharge is normal in some women, your plastic surgeon will be able to best help you decide on the timing of surgery. Hope this helps.
