A member asked:

When after a 1st trimester abortion can you have a breast augmentation?

Usually 3 months: This is a blanket statement and each situation must be viewed in the context of how far into the first trimester and the degree of breast enlargement experienced as well as your metabolism, weight, and overall health.

Varies.: Best to wait until you have reached a physical, emotional, and psychosocially stable state before proceeding with elective breast surgery. Depending on the specifics of a patient's situation, this may vary from one to 2 months to longer. Best wishes.

No concensus: An abortion is a procedure that can potentially introduce bacteria into the bloodstream. I routinely wait 2 months to place implants to minimize any potential contamination as well as to allow the breasts to return to normal as they did begin to change in your first trimester. There is not one good answer... Talk to your plastic surgeon and see what s/he recommends.

Breast augmentation: You should wait a minimum of one comp, tee menstrual cycle after the termination.

Weeks, if okay: Depends on your recovery from the recent procedure for a few weeks and also on whether you are planning on getting pregnant again soon or not. If not then you can see your pcp first and then make an appointment with a plastic surgeon in your local area.
