Alright, I've had two babies and plan on having one possibly two more, but I am seriously wanting a boob job and lift! I have never had perky boobs and my areolas are seriously huge for the size of my breasts. When I'm breastfeeding I'm a full C cup, which I love and my boobs look great, but I'm starting to wean my baby and my boobs are slowly but surely starting to deflate! So, for those who have them, or anyone who has an opinion, would you get them now or wait till done having kids?
Also, can you still breastfeed with them in? And if you have had them done, who did them and where are they located? I live in Arkansas, but for the right doctor and the RIGHT price I would travel. Please help me!

Please, wait until you are done, especially if you want to breastfeed! I'm a Lactation Nurse, and know this stuff well. Implants don't do nearly as much damage to the breast as Reduction surgery, and most women can breastfeed after implants. But, there is always a chance on blood supply or nerves being cut during an implant procedure.
The most dangerous implant procedure for women who want to breastfeed is when the nipple is moved, or the nerve or blood supply is cut or interrupted. The least likely to interfere is the behind the chest wall implant, where the implant is inserted into your belly button, pushed up to the breast, and then filled with the Saline after it is positioned.
I know the Great Deflate (when your breasts involute after weaning and they seem to be "empty") is disappointing, but most women will regain most or all of their fat stores in 3 months to 6 months. The fat reserves in your breasts are used up when you are breastfeeding, and it takes a while for the fat to go back where it supposed to be. Your breasts won't be as firm after having kids, but that is more due to pregnancy and genetics than breastfeeding.
The fat deposits WILL return, but they may be a little lower than before you got pregnant the first time.
If you want my advice, I'd not mess with the internal workings, the nerves or the blood supply to the nipple or the breast until you are SURE you are completely finished having children.
For women who already have implants, most women can easily breastfeed after implants, neither the silicone harms the baby or the milk. (which is inert and does NOT cause immune system complications, as was previously reported based on ONE very biased "study" of 4 or 5 women, all of whom were suing Dow Corning)
