I am 20 years old and I have 38DD breasts. I would love to get a breast reduction because as long as I can remember I have had back, neck and knee problems. I have horrible posture and running and exercising is difficult because my breasts get in the way. If I have the breast reduction done, will I still be able tp breast feed in the future?
Answer: Breast reduction : breast feeding #breastreduction : #breastfeedingThe #nipples and some areas of the skin may be numb or sensitive after surgery. #Sensation may return within a few weeks or months, but may be diminished or overly sensitive. Breast reduction may prevent your ability to #breast eed, however the newer short scar techniques that we use lessens that risk.

Answer: Is Breastfeeding Possible After Breast Reduction? Prior to any surgery women with large breasts often have trouble breastfeeding as they tend to have a low milk output. Any surgery that causes disruption to the breast milk ducts will result in a potentially reduced ability to breast feed.

Answer: Most patient can... some are adversely. The vast majority of patients who undergo breast reduction surgery are able to breast feed following this procedure.The ability to breast feed depends upon a variety of factors.Large studies have demonstrated that as many as twenty percent of women are unable to breast feed even without surgery.In some patients, breast feeding can be adversely impacted by breast reduction surgery.This appears to be related to the extent of the surgical dissection.The more extensive the dissection, the greater the likelihood of nerve damage, damage to blood supply, damage to the ductal system or damage to the breast tissue itself.In women who have previously demonstrated an ability to breast feed, inability to breast feed would be unusual following this type of procedure.If you’re concerned about breast feeding, it’s important to discuss this issue with your plastic surgeon prior to breast reduction surgery.

Answer: Breast feeding after a breast reduction During breast reduction surgery, when the nipple is repositioned to a higher position, some milk ducts may be cut. This means that milk production following pregnancy could be reduced. If this were the case, breastfeeding might still be possible, but it may be necessary for you to supplement with formula.However, not all women are naturally able to breastfeed, whether or not they have cosmetic breast surgery.
