When can I get a Mammogram after breast reduction? I am worried about the "squish"

As you had a mammogram only a year ago and if there are no high risk factors, you may want to wait longer for a variety of reasons. Given the non-gentle nature of the mammogram process, closer to a 9 months to a year may be reasonable in your situation. You should contact your plastic surgeon and obtain his/her recommendation however.Steven Turkeltaub, MD

Hello-You should be fine to have a mammogram 6 months after breast reduction, although it may not be completely necessary to do it quite so soon. While it may still be a bit tender, its unlikely that the mammogram would harm anything at this point. You're correct that this would be your new baseline. You and your doctor can make decisions about the mammo screening schedule that makes sense for you, given your age and family history.Best wishes-
