Maybe: There is nothing bad about wanting to get plastic surgery. However, pregnancy will change ur body significantly. It would be wise to wait until after. You should, however, discuss this during consultation with plastic surgeon.

Reduction B4 kids: There is nothing bad about having a reduction before having children if your quality of life is miserable due to your breasts. However if you wish to maximize you ability to breast fee, you must understand the reduction will diminish your ability to do so.

Depends: If your kids are a few years away then you should go ahead and think about having a reduction now to take some of that strain off your neck and back. It's possible you may need additional breast surgery after your children as it is impossible to predict how your breasts will change with pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Reason 4 reduction: Important if the reason for the reduction is because of large heavy breasts or sagging, , it is reasonable. It is important to understand that it may affect your ability to breast feed.
