I started taking birth control a week ago and it dried up all my milk. Do I have to wait 3 months before getting a reduction?

Hello and thank you for your question.
It is preferable to wait 6 months after stopping breast feeding to have any breast surgery. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

Thank you for your question.  Typically after a pregnancy it is suggested to wait approximately 3-6 months after giving birth or stopping breast feeding.  It takes a bit for the breast to come back down and settle after pregnancies.  I would suggest seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate and discuss your options and questions.  Best of luck to you. 

The estrogen in the pill prevents the production of a milk supply. Every mother will have a different experience in the amount of time it takes for breastmilk to dry up - some, days; some, weeks; some, months. Most PSs will recommend that you wait between three and six months for your breasts to return to their non-pregnancy size and shape before undergoing breast surgery.
