Richard P. Rand, 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.

It is totally safe to become pregnant after a breast reduction.  If you have never breast fed, you don't know what your body's capability for that is.  I always tell patients they have a 50:50 chance of breast feeding afterwards.  The surgery shouldn't substantially change your body's ability to breast feed using most modern techniques.
