Michael S. Beckenstein, MD answers: Breast reduction surgery after pregnancy?

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

You should get as close as your pre pregancy weight as you can. If you have breast fed you should wait at least 6 months before a reduction mammoplasty is performed. Your breast tissue needs to return from the changes of pregnancy. If you have a reduction too early and your breasts "involute" afterwards, you may end up with breasts smaller than you would like.Something was wrong if you want implants after a reduction!
