I have desired a breast reduction since my teenage years, and my medical records reflect complaints of shoulder and back pain since the age of 12. I am aware that I am an ideal candidate for both a breast lift and reduction, but I have waited to have children first. I recently had my second child whom I am still breastfeeding. If I plan to undergo the surgery soon, when should I stop nursing my baby?

Breast Reduction Lift After Nursing - I typically advise waiting at least 3-6 months post-breastfeeding before performing a breast reduction. Waiting 6 months may allow for a better evaluation of the final result regarding the shape and contour of the breast.
If you are considering breast reduction or augmentation after breastfeeding, it is important to wait until your breasts have completely dried up and returned to their normal size. This process takes time, so patience is key.
