I will be having accessory nipples by the armpit removed but I would like to know if this can affect me breastfeeding my kids later on. Will I not be able to produce milk if I get these accessory nipples removed?

Thank you for asking about treatment for your accessory (extra) nipples.
Accessory nipples are common but not easy to diagnose.
Your GP did well - congratulations to her.
Liquid nitrogen doesn't go deep enough to remove them.
You are unlikely to get a refund...
Great questions and difficult reconstruction. Any breast surgery can effect your breast feeding. If breast feeding is critical to you then I would not have breast surgery. Additionally you may loose nipple sensation during the correction. Although not common it can happen and you should discuss...
At your age I would make sure you completely understand the risks involved in a surgery to the areolae. You could lose sensation and the ability to breast feed.
