how long after having a baby should wait to have a breast reduction?

You should wait at least six months, or if you are breast feeding, six months after you stop. Within that time, your breasts will have returned mostly to normal. I agree with the statement that you should try to get back to your prepregnancy weight.

I think the timeline is somewhere like 3-6 months. You should probably wait a good while so your body has time to heal. Do what your doc recommends. Don't get anxious, take your time.

go to ur doctor, tell them u are interested in getting a breast reduction, they will measure ur breast in, from ur shoulders to the tip of ur nipple, and then around ur top (where the bras goes around), they will recommend a Plastic Surgeon (this is a referral, so it shouldnt cost u a thing, but every place is different) .. the surgeon will do the same thing,and take a picture of ur breast (no face) for ur insurance comapany,  and tell u whether or not u qualify for one, (altho he isnt the sole decider in this case, and if he tells u that u dont, tell him what is wrong, ( u might not need a reduction, just a lift) saggy breast and can be just as painful as big breast, and when the 2 are mixed, its more painful!!!!  then he will ask for ur insurance info, and then fax over ur picture and measurments, insurance companied like to procrastonate, u just need to keep calling and askign them whats up with the aproval, they will probably give u the run around, they did with me but i took no BS from them! my insuracne was running out in 2 weeks so i had to be on themn like flies on dead meat! LOL! when/if the insurance company does approve the request the surgeon will send u a letter or call you, with the date of the surgery..... \n\nalso  most insurance copanies, have qualifications requirements to a reduction as it cost alot of money! my insurance company  required i had to have ATLEAST 12 oz removed, nothing less in each breast ( i more than qualified) i had 6lbs removed!!! (WHEW) ... u can find out what ur Insurance requirements are, u can either call them or find out online,  go to the insuracne companies website and look around....\n\n\nDo u have indents ur shoulders from the weight of ur breast tuggin on the bra starp? cuz that will be and instant aproval, or so i was told!\n\n\ngood luck

It is typical for your body to recover and take some recovery time.  3 months is not unheard of. My SIL took 6 and she did not breast feed either.  I don't know anything about Provera so I can't help you there, but it you are really worried about being PG again you could always call a Doc.

Well,ideally speaking,you should wait for 1 full year after your C-section before getting pregnant.This allows the uterine scar to heal thoroughly,thus reducing the chances of uterine rupture in your next  labour,and also to reduce the risk of the placenta attaching to the site of incision ,causing different problems.\nBUT,when all is said and done,you are only 5 months away from the 'ideal' and l have known patients who delivered safely in similar circustances to yours,so don't worry.The 'ideal' is a guide and not an absolute.

You should take them out now because your boobs are gonna get huge. Im 24 weeks pregnant. your nipples might start to push out the rings and they can get infected. I still have my bellybutton ring in tho. LOL

Biologically speaking humans should nurse for about 4.5 years.  It's a damned shame our society is so anal about breasts.  But even in our stupid modern world, all babies should get nothing but breastmilk for the first 6 months of life and should continue nursing through at least a year.\n\nFormula is artificial breastmilk that they still haven't gotten right.  It's a blessing for people who truly need it, but it is just plain substandard.

In my vainer days I considered having a breast reduction, but when I started doing research and found it would make them non-functional, that settled it as a no.  The body's only here for a while, anyway - better to get used to the idea we're all going to be wrinkly, saggy, and probably a little funny-looking before long anyway. :)

It's easy & ralatively painless. I had mine less than 24 hours after having my 2nd child. Just make sure that when they cut the tube, they take part of it out. That way there is no way it can grow back together, which I've heard has actually happened a few times. Good luck!

I'm having a breast reduction and tummy tuck on April 24th. I'm currently 5'3", 185 lbs, 38DD size 14-16 pants. I'm quite nervous but I'm looking forward to it. I've been watching alot of Dr 90210 on tv to desensitize myself. I think you should definitely have it. I look forward to my new body and an increase in self esteem. By the way, if you have insurance, go to a plastic surgeon. They can write a letter to your insurance and say it's medically necessary if you truly are big. My insurance is paying for my breast reduction so all I'm paying for is the tummy tuck. Good luck!!!

Best thing to do after having a baby is lose weight slowly to keep it off. Talk to your doctor. \n\nIf you are breastfeeding you may lose it a little faster? But you have to eat right. Well you want to eat right any way. \n\nI lost the weight when I had my daughter 18 years ago, I am 39 now. But I lost it then slowly. You have so much to worry about with a new baby any way. \n\nBut a few new clothes. Then try to take care of yourself and loss weight the right way. Slowly, if you want to keep it off. I weigh less now then when I first got pregnant even.

I'm guessing that you mean after delivery of your baby???\n\nThis is normal to not have your period for six to eight weeks after having a baby. After initially ahving a baby you do have some blood loss in the first few weeks. \nIf you are breastfeeding then it is normal to not have your period back until after you finish breastfeeding.

I has a chest X ray done when I was 8 weeks pregnant with my first.  I did not know I was pregnant at that stage (long story! lol) so I had no protection of my abdomen.  When I found out I was pregnant I worried that she would be born with problems but she was perfectly fine.  You had protection so I am sure you and your baby will be fine.

I know nothing of the breast milk issue, as mine were done well after that stage. I have read that it is not a sure thing that implants would cause complications, my recollection isn't too clear, but it seems that was a small percentage. You know how people have to include disclaimers to cover EVERY aspect. The only negative side I know of is...not many doctors/hospitals are set up to do mamograms on implants, but I hear it's up and coming. You will be sore, if you scar easily you will have a nasty scar...don't get it done through the nipple. I had mine done through the belly button....read up on that for more details...and my bf is impressed at how good mine look with no scars on my breasts. I had mine done in Dallas, so no help on your geographical situation.

anywhere from 2 to 5 weeks really. But no more than 5 weeks.

I had one back in 91.  I wouldn't change my decision.  Only thing I wish I had been more informed about was that it would reduce and or cause you not to be able to produce milk for any babies you may have in the future.  Surgeries have been enhanced significantly now, compared to when I had it done...so certain procedures aren't done as commonly now.  Make sure that your doc thinks that you are through any chance of puberty as well...mine was done when I was almost 18 and they still grew in the years after surgery.  So good luck, and the more research you do, the more prepared you will feel.\n\n:-)\n\nPS...Also...if the doc can find that it is a medical necessity because of maybe back pain or bruising on the chest cavity from your bra, insurance will more likely cover it, as long as it is not found to be just a cosmetic choice.
