I quit nursing over a month ago. I'm schedule for my mommy makeover in a few weeks ( so 2 months post nursing) but I notice I can still squeeze very small amounts of milk out if I try. My breasts are DEFINITELY back to pre pregnancy size,much smaller actually, and I don't think they can get any smaller to be honest! There is literally NOTHING left. This is my 3rd baby, and I know my boobs are done changing but many doctors say you have to b totally dry..I don't think im ToTALLY dry for over a year?!

Answer: How Long to Wait After Breast Feeding Before Having an Augmentation?
Most plastic surgeons would recommend that you wait at least 3 months after finishing breast feeding or even longer until you are no longer producing milk before proceeding with an elective breast surgery. The reason to wait is to diminish the risk of potential complications, including infection.
Keep in mind, that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure may not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

Answer: Breast Milk and Breast Augmentation
Typically, I like to wait at least 3 months after finishing breast feeding to perform any kind of breast surgery (implants and/or lift). The reason being that you can have a higher rate of infection if there are still signs of post-pregnancy breast engorgement. I would consult with your surgeon as soon as possible because you are still producing a small amount of milk. Especially with implants, you want to limit their exposure to bacteria as much as possible.
