Thank you for your query. Breast size does go down after you have finished breast feeding. If, however there is still a lot of volume and heaviness  to your breasts, and you do not want another full surgical breast reduction, a liposuction procedure may be helpful. This does involve a couple of small cuts but the recovery is short and comfortable and there is very little down time. If you want no surgery at all, Thermi breast can reduce the volume to a limited extent and also tighten your skin. Please find an experienced board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Great question.  Yes, your breast size will most likely reduce post pregnancy, and post-lactation, should you be breast feeding.  However, along with that reduction in size and volume, breast tissue can reduce and breasts are left slightly "emptier".  This can cause some laxity in the skin and your breasts might not appear as high or full.  Some women find this to be great, after having larger breasts but some might miss that fullness and higher nipple height.  It is important to have an evaluation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
