When is it okay to have my nipples pierced after a breast reduction?

Asked By:Asong489 in Greenville, SC

I had my reduction on June 15th of this year so it's been 5 months now and I was wondering how long I should wait before having my nipples pierced. It's something I've always wanted to have done but I never liked how my breasts looked so I never did it. My surgery went great and I healed wonderfully with no problems at all. So my question is...how long should I wait?
