What is the best age for breast reduction surgery?

Breast reduction surgery can be performed after the age of 22, or at any age after breast development stops. Pregnancy and breastfeeding have unpredictable effects on the breasts. And breast reduction surgery will affect breastfeeding function. If you plan to breastfeed in the future, you should discuss it with your plastic surgeon before surgery. During the consultation, the doctor will ask the patient about the ideal breast size and what kind of improvement they hope to get from the breasts. This will help the plastic surgeon understand the patient's ideas and determine whether they can be achieved.
