How long can I wait to have a breast reduction after hysterectomy?

The length of time after a hysterectomy until you can have breast reduction depends on a few factors, the most important ones being the recommendations of your ob-gyn and the plastic surgeon who will be performing the procedure. Your health and post-operative course after the hysterectomy will also influence this. In general, if you are healthy and your postoperative course is totally uneventful, my recommendations would be to wait 3 to 6 months which allows you to recuperate, heal and maximize your nutritional state for the breast reduction.Steven Turkeltaub, MD

Thank you for the question and there is no fixed recommendation other then the opinion of your chosen gynecologist.  In point of fact if in good health both procedures could be done together!  But getbyour gyno' opinion.Dr Corbin
