So I am planning on getting a new tattoo in the next couple of months and I want to get it on my chest but I am wondering if I should wait until after I get a breast reduction and or top surgery I am planning on getting at some point in the future I did take a photo as you can see of where I want the tattoo it is about the space my hand is covering and also about the size of my hand possible a little bigger I am also looking into both breast reduction and top surgery so what do you say is best.

Answer: Breast surgery Thank you for your inquiry! We would love to meet with you in person to discuss all your surgical options. I would recommend waiting to get a tattoo in that location until after you get your breast surgery as removing breast tissue could change the tattoo. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon like myself to help you reach your goals and create a surgical plan for you!

Answer: Tattoo before breast surgery I would suggest waiting until after your breast surgery before proceeding with a tattoo. I would suggest waiting 6 months after surgery to allow time for swelling to subside and healing to complete as well. As for a reduction versus a mastectomy this is really hard to advise. It really has to be you who decides which operation, removing the breast, or making it smaller is best for you. There really is no good answer it just depends on how you feel.
