Q:

I want to have a breast reduction; however, presently I am a breast-feeding mother. How long must I wait after weaning my daughter to have this done?

A:

I generally have patients wait a minimum of six months following breast-feeding before undertaking breast reduction. This allows for the secretory phase to subside and for the breasts to assume their normal volume and position.
