If your breasts are still somewhat engorged after having children, you should wait about 6 months or longer until they have come back to their normal volume before you go ahead and have a breast reduction.

Steven Wallach, MD answers: When is a good time to have Breast reduction done?
I would like to know when it is a good time to have a Breast reduction. I have wanted to have a Breast reduction for a number of years. I used to have a 36 DD on a frame of 5'7" and 145 pounds. I recently had a baby (2 months ago) and am not breast feeding, nor do I plan to do so anytime in the future, if I have more children. I am still maintaining a very large breast size (36 G) and would like to know if I should wait longer to consider having the surgery in hopes that my chest may shrink down some more.

A: Go for Breast Reduction

I believe the best time to have surgery, is when you have the time to go through a relatively short recovery period. Most of my breast reduction patients return to an office job in 5 days. However, no strenuous excercise is permitted for a minimum of 2 weeks.
