Breast reductions

[Amy42601]

Does anyone know how long after having a baby a woman can have breast reduction surgery? Also, what is the ball-park for recovery time, i.e. when I can lift my child, etc. And if there's anyone out there that has had breast reduction surgery, if you had children after the procedure, were you still able to breast feed? Any advice will be helpful, as this is a much needed procedure for me and I need to have some peace of mind. THANK YOU!!! :-)

I would also like to hear any experiences any have had. I am considering this surgery.

I had a breast lift in December... and I had almost no down time at all. I know my situation is different than yours... just wanted you to know that I love my new look and pain for me was very minimal

I had a breast reduction done about two years ago, and It was the best thing I have ever done.People tried to talk me out of it , my husband was very upset that I wanted it. But It really has changed me, and now he likes it as well. It takes about 3 weeks to heal, and you can not lift anything for about 6 weeks afterwards. You also can not breast feed ! So you might want to have it done after you have children. I don't know how big you are, but I was considered a "f" cup and went down to a "D" . I could if I wanted to go bra less, and no one would no. It's amazing how different clothes look, and what you once couldn't even think about wearing, now you can.. It's a great feeling.

I hope this helped.

I had a breast reduction 2 years ago, and It was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I was an "f" cup size and I went down to a "D"cup...I feel like a new person.
They look perfect.You can barely see any scares. It's so nice not to have back or neck pain, and shopping has been so much fun, things I would never have considered wearing, I do now..You can not breast feed though, so If thats very important to you then wait until after you have children.I was out of work for 3weeks,and I could not lift anything for about 6weeks....If your considering it, and you'd like to talk more , please E-mail me at Tully1102@aol.com..I will be glad to answer any questions you might have..
