John Philip Di Saia, MD answers: Breast reduction surgery after pregnancy?

How long after giving birth should I wait before I can undergo breast reduction surgery?

Hello,

Pregnancy is associated with at least some weight gain and swelling of the breasts. I'd say wait around 3-6 months afterward to let these things subside and get back into shape. Once you feel you are back to a weight that you feel you can maintain, then a breast reduction might be in order.
