I am scheduled for my breast reduction surgery in less than a month. I am currently a 40DDD and I'm looking to go down to a large C. I am 18 years old and around 240lbs. My breasts are sitting on my stomach and they are heavily sagging. My plastic surgeon wants to do the surgery using the anchor incision, but will I be able to breastfeed in the future? He said that I would have trouble breastfeeding now anyway since my breasts are so big. Will this surgery affect that for me?

Answer: Bellesoma Breast Reduction The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

Answer: Breast reduction and breast feeding Ability to breastfeed depends of many factors. Since you did not have that experience yet, it is questionable whether you will be able to breastfeed at all? In order to preserve most of glandular tissue and connection between nipple and breast gland we use liposuction as a mayor modality in breast reduction. Female breast consists of 70-90% of fat tissue (exceptions are hard, glandular breasts, and very young, hard breasts). After liposuction, most of blood and nerve supply is preserved as well as connections between breast gland and nipple; extra skin and some breast tissue in lower pole are removed as with other techniques (we use mostly vertical type of breast reduction or other techniques as needed). So in your case, breastfeeding is going to stay an open question. Good luck.
