I have been asked if there is a minimum length of time after the cessation of breastfeeding, before a breast reduction can take place. One surgeon suggested 6-12 months or when there is no longer any milk present, to avoid any possible risk of mastitis after severing the ducts. Can anyone here concur or have other information? I haven’t found the answer to this in any texts or archives. Many thanks, Meg Kingsley IBCLC Dubai UAE -- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus (http://www.grisoft.com).
