Is Breastfeeding Possible After Breast Reduction?

September 15, 2009
Asked By:kdaniels39 in Redding, CA

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?
