Waiting Period for Breast Reduction or Lift After Weight Loss?

Sweetgirl1
I have recently lost 46 lbs and have about 15 more to go. My breast size has not decreased significantly, only from a DDD cup to a DD cup. How long after my weight loss is complete should I wait to have a breast reduction or breast lift? Thank you.
