Explanation with breast reduction surgery. (photos)

Asked By:Navy_EOD_Wife in Chesapeake, VA

10 years ago I got small saline implants to correct uneven breasts (DD) after four pregnancies my breasts are now a 36N cup. They are very low and saggy and also very uneven again. Do I have to undergo two separate procedures? Can explantation be done in office? How long after explantation must I wait to get the reduction? Can they be done at the same time? Also I'm currently lactating (not lactating I'm still a 36 L/M). How long must I wait after I finish lactating until procedures can be done?
