Sutton Graham II, MD answers: Safe pregnancy after Breast Reduction?

I'm 26 and I don't have kids yet. I would like to know, can I have a pregnancy without complications after a breast reduction? Please help. Thank you in advance.

Marceline:

Breast reduction should not interfere with your pregnancy at all.  Your surgeon may recommend not attempting conception until the surgery has healed well (a few months).

Breast feeding ability is typically maintained with most reduction techniques.  Breast feeding, gravity and getting older can all effect the breast contour, volume and firmness so some women will desire future procedures such as breast lift, but that is no reason to be concerned about pregnancy.
