I suffer from very asymmetric breasts ( one is a small C, the other a large D) Although two doctors have told me they could lift my larger breast and give me implants in one surgery, I truly think my preference would be to first reduce and lift my larger breast then later get implants. I'm afraid if I get implants before reducing my larger breasts, they will still be very different in shape and position. If I decided to take a two stage approach, how long would I have to wait between surgeries?

Answer: How long should I wait between breast lift and breast augmentation surgeries? At least 3 months is a reasonable time to wait between such procedures, to take into account swelling and settling of your breast. Your decision is a very reasonable one, and arguably, can produce more symmetric size and shape. However, such a procedure may also be performed safely and well in one stage - also giving the benefit of a single procedure, single recovery, and cost savings...just some things to consider. I would discuss the various options with a plastic surgeon to assist you in your decision. Hope that this helps!

Answer: How long should I wait between breast lift and breast augmentation surgeries? Thank you for the question. Absolutely nothing wrong with staging the procedures if you and your chosen plastic surgeon feel that the outcome will be better and less complication prone. In my practice, I usually wait 3 to 6 months before proceeding with the 2nd stage procedure. Best wishes.
