Answer: Lactation, nursing and breast reduction
I would recommend that you wait at least 4 months subsequent to cessation of lactation prior to considering breast reduction.

Answer: Breast Reduction 4 days after cessation of breast feeding
Hi there-
Generally speaking, it is not in your best interests to withhold relevant information from any health care provider, as (and this is definitely true in this instance) it may lead to complications you could have avoided had you been forthcoming...
I would recommend you wait at least 3 months to allow your breasts to re-establish a healthy equilibrium after the glandular elements have receded.
Proceeding before this has occurred risks ongoing deflation of the breasts in the postoperative period, with a less than favorable result that necessitates another surgical procedure.
