Google tells me that it's recommended to wait 6 months.  However, you should check this advice with your implanting surgeon / EP and / or general doctor as your particular breast and general health circumstances may dictate a different timescale.

It's safe after 6-8 weeks. 

It will be a lot more comfortable if you can wait 6-12 months. 

Depending on your placement, they may also want to do an ultrasound. If your pacer is covering breast tissue, it may partially block their view.
