Question:
How long do i have to wait to get a breast augmentation?

Hi, I am 6mon open ryn and have lost 60 pounds. I have always wanted bigger breast, now i have gone from a size c to a size b not the direction i was looking for. just want to know how long others have waited before going under the knife again.    — Viv D. (posted on April 26, 2003)

Hi, I am 13 weeks post-op and my doctor recomends to wait at least one year before you have any type of plastic surgery. congradulations on your weight loss do far.

If you think you may end up having stomach work done, it is often recommended that you have the stomach work done prior to breast work, because when your stomach work is done your breast will hang differently and likely alter the appearance of your new breasts.

Viv, I would wait atleast another 6 months. I know it's hard to, but you should wait until you lose all of your weight. I am still losing sizes in my breasts (from a 40H to a 36D) after almost a year. And they can sag, so you may need a lift along with implants- it all depends. But ideally wait 1 year. Can't hurt to have consultations before that, though. Goodluck to you!
