Breast augmentation surgeons recommend that it is appropriate to have breast augmentation from 3 months to 6 months after giving birth. This time differs based on the breast augmentation's preference and the patient's individual case. It is also recommended that the patient is back to their pre-baby weight, is no longer breastfeeding and no longer experiences milky breast discharge. In some cases it might be recommended to wait 9 months after giving birth before getting breast augmentation.
Women experience a lot of changes during and after pregnancy on their bodies.

The breast volume changes and some conditions, such as saggy breast may correct themselves over times. Committing to a breast augmentation surgery before the body has stopped changing may leave the patient with undesirable results.
