Tuberous breasts and breast feeding. Could corrective surgery help?

Asked By:meglyons in Ann Arbor, MI

Could corrective surgery help with breast and nipple shape, making it easier for baby to latch and breast pump cups to fit properly? With my first child I had a great milk supply, but had difficulty with his latch and couldn't get ANY milk out with the pump. The lactation MD said it was r/t nipple shape d/t tuberous breast deformity. (Puffy nipples are a characteristic she said). Also if silicone implants are safe why MRI every 5 years? Cohesive safer?
