I'm currently breastfeeding and wearing a 36 L Thad still a little too small. Before I got pregnant I was a 36G. I'm only 5' 2" and 155lbs. I would like to have the procedure done next year in the summer.

Answer: Timing of Breast Reduction after weaning Two major considerations affect Breast Reduction after weaning from breast feeding. The first, the breasts much reach and remain at their new sizes. There is no point in operating on breasts which are still changing in size and thereby either under or over remove breast tissue. Just like no one knowingly would build a home on a shifting foundation, we would want your breasts to reach and remain at their new sizes. Secind, lactating breasts ducts are not sterile. They contain bacteria. By cutting across such breasts ducts the risk of infection is increased. For these reasons, most surgeons would prefer to wait at least 6 months after the milk production has stopped before performing breast surgery. Goid LuckPeter Aldea MD
