It depends

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Is it possible to breastfeed after breast lift surgery?

I have successfully breastfed 4 children in the past. Two years ago I had a breast lift and augmentation. Now, I am unexpectedly expecting and would love to be able to breast feed this new baby. What are my chances?

At least you know that you are capable of breast feeding. Most breast lifts don't take away the natural mechanism for breast feeding so you will just need to see what happens. Good luck!
