I have Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism. I’m due to get it checked to see if it is still hyper and an issue . I was due to get breast enlargement but I have put it on hold till I check thyroid. If treatment for thyroid and Graves’ disease is needed, can I resume my ba plans for surgery after 3 months?

Thank you for the question.
Assuming your thyroid hormones are well controlled (with levels checked),  then undergoing  elective breast surgery should not be a problem. To be sure, confirm with your endocrinologist/internist who can communicate with your plastic surgeon.
Choose your plastic surgeon very carefully; everything else including good judgment/advice/planning, anesthesia provider and safe surgery facility will follow. Best wishes.

Hi mellou1993, 
I understand your concern. It is best that you have your hyperthyroidism corrected first before undergoing breast augmentation surgery. Your endocrinologist should provide you with a medical clearance stating that it is okay for you to undergo breast surgery. 
If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
