Breast Reduction Surgery After Pregnancy?

Marisol785,
During pregnancy the breast tissues undergo significant change due to hormonal effects. You are correct to wait some time to undergo breast reduction after childbirth.
Another factor which would also contribute is if you are breast feeding. Basically, you want to wait for your breasts to return to their steady state, unaffected by the hormonal influences of the pregnancy.
Another factor is your mobility with your new baby. If you undergo surgery too soon, you may be hindered while you are recovering. Waiting 6 to 12 months would be appropriate.

Thank you for your question
You should wait until your breasts are back to pre pregnancy size, and you are finished nursing. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

My recommendation is to wait 6 months after the completion of breastfeeding. This will give your breasts enough time to shrink back down to their normal size. I also recommend you get to your ideal weight before planning a breast reduction surgery to achieve the best outcome. Best wishes.

Your best results will come from waiting until you are back close to your pre-pregnancy weight. The answer also depends in part on whether you're breastfeeding. Generally, I would recommend waiting 3 months after you stop breastfeeding before scheduling the procedure. You may find that the size and shape of your breasts change significantly after breastfeeding. If you don't breastfeed, waiting 3 to 6 months after having the baby is advisable. If you plan on having another child soon, I recommend waiting until you're finished having children before getting breast surgery.  

You should wait about 6 months after pregnancy, or after you've stopped breastfeeding, before you consider surgery.

Most surgeons recommend waiting 6 months following childbirth for a breast reduction. This time period is somewhat flexible. Some patients may not breast feed and their milk will dry up fast, and the breasts will return to their normal size relatively quickly. As long as there is milk present or the breasts are larger then normal, you would wait for a breast reduction.
