I Have been breast feeding 4 children on and off for the past 11 years I plan to have a breast lift in March next year. I stopped breastfeeding last month but am still producing some milk. Will this negatively affect my breast lift procedure? Thank you.
Answer: Breast Lift Hi -Questions regarding milk production at the time of breast lift surgery is a topic that comes up a lot with patients in our clinic. While any discharge from the nipple at the time of surgery can introduce some bacteria to the surgical site, minor or minimal milk production at the time of surgery should not significantly impact the results of your surgery or procedure performed. As your surgery is planned for next year, you have a significant amount of time for the milk production to completely stop prior to surgical intervention. Best of luck with your breast lift, hope you have a great result. Dr. Rodriguez

Answer: Milk production Thank you for you question and photos. If you are planning for your upcoming surgery a year in advance, you should be fine. In my practice, I request that patients stop breastfeeding a minimum of 3 months prior to any breast surgery. Definitely discuss your concerns and expectations with your surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: You need to wait at least 6 months upon finishing breastfeeding to know your final starting size/shape. If at that time you are still lactating, you should be seen and evaluated by your gyn if this is normal. All of this, if needed, should be done before any procedures.
