Timing of breast reduction surgery
The timing of breast reduction surgery is really up to you. Breast reduction patients are probably the most satisfied plastic surgery patients. There are many benefits:
- breast reduction can greatly decrease a women's shoulder, back, and neck pain,
- breast reduction can treat rashes under the breasts and shoulder grooving from bra straps,
- breast reduction can help you lose weight because you may be able to walk more, take the stairs more, and exercise more.

Breast Reduction and Timing in Relation to Pregnancy?
Thank you for the question.
Breast reduction surgery is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. By removing “excess” breast tissue, adipose tissue, and breast skin this operation reduces and lifts the breasts to a higher position on the chest wall. By doing so, patients often find improvement in neck, back, and shoulder discomfort and find it easier to form their activities of daily living and exercise.
Timing of the operation will depend on the...

Breast Reduction BEFORE or AFTER having Children
Great question and not one with a clear black or white answer. The best answer would be MAYBE. Allow me to explain.
There is NO doubt that pregnancy chages the shape and weight of the breasts often resulting is breast sagging. As a result, if you are willing to wait several years and put up with the pain and restrictions imposed by large breasts then there is no doubt that having your breast reduction (which would also make them perkier) would ideally best be done at that time.

It depends on how large your breasts are and how long it will be before you have children.
Large breasts are a task for women to carry around. There are many negatives to large breasts.
On the other hand, there can be positives, including attraction from men. You have to decide which
is more important to you. The negative to breast reduction before pregnancy is that you may lose
sensitivity, you may not be able to breast feed, your breast may be out of shape...

Breast reduction
If you do not plan to have children in the foreseeable future it would be reasonable to have your breasts reduced . It depends on your individual situation, but from your question you do not mention that you intend to have children soon. If your breasts are giving you significant problems, such as back pain, I see no reason to wait .

Waiting to have children before having a breast reduction
Waiting to have children before having a breast reduction may be the right choice if you are planning to have children soon. If you are experiencing back pain, bra strap grooving, rashes under the fold or other problems you may want to have the breast reduction first. Your breast will change after having children, usally hanging more but each person is different.

Breast reduction before or after having children
I would strongly recommend to wait till after you have your children. Your breasts are going to undergo changes after pregnancy. In addition there is always the risk of not been able to breast feed after surgery!!!
If the condition of your breasts is unbearable with pain, headaches, skin irritation and infections then it maybe a case to perform a breast reduction now.
Good luck

Breast Reduction and PRegnancy
Hi there-
My advice would depend a lot on two things- how much trouble your large breasts are causing you, and your expected timing for any future pregnancy.
If you think you will be trying to become pregnant within the next year and you can live with your large breasts over this time period, I would definitely wait. The reason? Pregnancy usually causes changes in the shape, size, and appearance of the breasts that requires surgery to improve- it would be a shame to have two...
