Can You Still Get a Breast Augmentation While Breast Feeding?

It is not advisable to have breast augmentation while breast feeding. You should wait until about 6 months after milk production has stopped before having a breast augmentation.

Thank you for your question.  This is not a good idea.  The general recommendation is to wait between 3-6 months after you finish breast feeding before undergoing a breast augmentation.  Many surgeons prefer the 6 month mark.  There are many reasons for this recommendation.  The risk of infection is higher, you will likely lose volume in your breasts and have excess skin which could affect the appearance of your final outcome, etc.  Best to wait. 

It is a surgeons preference but, typically it's wise to wait approximately six months after completing breast feeding to have breast augmentation performed.

It is not good to get any kind of breast surgery while breast feeding especially BA. When you cut the breast tissue during surgery the gland will leak milk inside of the breast space and around the implant, this can become infected or at least will need another surgery to drain this.

I agree with the other doctors. It would not be a good idea to do while still breast feeding for any number of reasons.

There are two main reasons to not do an augmentation while breast feeding. First, it would be nearly impossible to judge what your breasts would look like after you stop breast feeding. You may need a lift and it would be hard to judge what size implant to place since  you will be a smaller size. Secondly, your risk of developing an infection or capsular contracture will be higher

I do not perform a breast augmentation on women who are currently breast feeding. Deciding size is impossible and the potential risk of infection is higher. I wait about three months afterwards
