Is it possible to breastfeed after breast lift surgery?

Asked By:jennifer37 in Kansas

I have successfully breastfed 4 children in the past. Two years ago I had a breast lift and augmentation. Now, I am unexpectedly expecting and would love to be able to breast feed this new baby. What are my chances?
