How long do I have to wait to bind after a breast reduction?

August 15, 2016
Asked By:samrway in Parkville, MD

I'm biologically female, however i'm genderfluid and experience masculinity more than femininity. I often bind my chest when i feel more masculine. I was just wondering how long after a breast reduction would I have to wait to bind again? (I'm DDD cup and looking to go down to roughly a B or C cup)
