Hello, How soon after Breast Augmentation can you get a tattoo done or tattoo redone? My tattoo I am considering to get reworked is a small piece right beside my naval. I am post op 3 months. Many thanks in advance.

Assuming you are completely healed from your BA, you should be able to get your tattoos re worked 3 months postop.

Ozge Ergun, MD · Answer

In breast augmentation treatment process, you should avoid any intervention to your breasts at least 4 months. When you have the approval of your surgeon about the completion of the treatment process, you can get or remove a tattoo.

Hello. 
Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your surgery!
You should be extra careful during your healing period as certain procedures could increase your risk of infection. I recommend that you ask your doctor for an antibiotic prescription prior to any dental procedures, piercings or tattoos to protect against the risk of infection.
