How Soon After Breast Reduction Can One Become Pregnant?

Hi there-
I think this is possible and safe for you and your baby, but probably does not represent the best planning possible....
If you are certain you want both another child and a breast reduction, I would recommend you have your baby, allow your body to recover, then have your breast reduction.
If you have the reduction first, I would be concerned that the pregnancy will produce changes that increase your chances of needing a second operation after the delivery of the baby.

Yes, waiting 3 months should be fine prior to becoming pregnant again. It sounds like you are aware that a further breast procedure is often needed afterwards and that the Breast Reduction surgery may prevent you from breast feeding.

Thanks for the question.  You should easily be able to start trying to become pregnant within 3 months following breast reduction surgery.  You might still have a very slight amount of swelling at that point but your breast should be healed well enough to not experience any problems.

Thank you for the question.

Yes it is safe to become pregnant 3 months after breast reduction surgery.

Best wishes.

It would be safe to get pregnant within a few weeks after breast reduction. However, pregnancy will change the results of your breast reduction as there will be some enlargement of your breasts with milk production. When your breasts return to their normal size, you will likely note some sagging or settling of your breasts. Some women experience a change in breast size and shape that persists after pregnancy such that the breasts are larger or smaller than they were before pregnancy. For all these reasons, it would be best to wait until after your family is complete to have a breast reduction. Your surgeon can then best judge the proper amount of tissue to remove to give you the most appropriate long lasting result.
