i've been dealing with issues with my the size of my breasts for years now, and hoping to find some relief asap. my breasts had always been large, but it wasnt till i had my son earlier this year that i went from a 36J to my current 38N. they are so heavy that my back is in constant pain, and my shoulders from my bra straps trying to support their weight. is a reduction the best option? i am still lactating, do i need to wait till im done? and is it possible to breastfeed after a reduction?

Answer: Breast reduction I usually recommend ladies wait 6 month after stopping their breast feeding before they do a breast reduction. In my experience patients like you get significant relief from breast reduction. It is possible to breast feed after breast reduction, but it's not a guarantee. Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified. I've attached a link where you can start your search.

Answer: Is a breast reduction the best option for me? 20 years old, 38N (Photos) The lactation process should be completed before breast reduction surgery is contemplated. This may take a few months to 6 months or longer. With most modern techniques of breast reduction, the ducts should be preserved as well as the sensation. Therefore, breast-feeding should be possible.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
