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: Should I wait? Since you are planning to have the reduction surgery it would be best to wait to get your tattoo until after since it is close the surgical area. That way you will know for sure that the tattoo will not be distorted from the surgery.

Answer: Top Surgery and Tattoo Top surgery scars vary depending on the type of procedure (chest masculinizing breast reduction, periareolar, double-incision, etc). However, it is generally recommended to wait until after your breast reduction or top surgery before getting a tattoo on or near your chest. This is because the surgery can alter the shape, size, and positioning of your chest skin, which may distort a tattoo placed beforehand. Additionally, scars from surgery can affect the appearance of the tattoo, and healing post-surgery is crucial before getting inked. Typically, it's best to wait at least 6 to 12 months after surgery for your chest to fully heal and stabilize before getting a tattoo.

Answer: Tattoo Thanks for your question! I would advise waiting. Depending on how low the tattoo goes, it could be affected by surgery. It'll be better to wait and remove the chance of it getting ruined. Good luck!

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.
