I have 2 children, my youngest is 1yr and still nursing. With both children, once they reach about 10mo, my L breast all but dries up. This time is much more pronounced leaving me with a A/B and a DDD/G asymmetry. Once we wean I know my R breast will shrink some but not enough. Now the tricky part, we plan to have more children but I don't think I can tolerate this asymmetry anymore or I would wait. It is affecting my life now. Can I still breastfeed future children once it is corrected?
Answer: Breast Feeding after Breast surgeyr The reality is that it would depend on the technique your plastic surgeon is required to do after treating your asymmetry and that will depend on how much difference there is between the two breast after you have stopped lactating. Most techniques do preserve the ability to continue breast feeding but you may experience difficulty nonetheless. You should consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon after you have finished lactating and discuss it with him or her.

Answer: Post Pregnancy Breast Asymmetry Breast asymmetry is very common, in fact it is virtually universal to some degree. In some women the differences are enough to cause then to seek surgical correction so that their clothes and swimwear fits better. The most straightforward way to correct breast asymmetry is to reduce/reshape the larger side so that it matches the smaller side. This reduction on the larger side may or may not be accompanied by adding implants both sides to increase total volume if that is something that the woman wishes. I'm not a fan of using different size implants on each side to correct significant volume differences. In my opinion, the long term results with different size implants leads to different shaped breasts since the aging process with different volumes of natural breast tissue will be different. thus the long term results will be different again and will require additional surgery.Using modern breast reduction/breast lift techniques, the ability to breast feed in the future should in most cases be preserved. It is, however, important to be aware that future pregnancies will cause changes in the breasts and may affect symmetry even if a correction has been performed.For the best results seek the consultation of a plastic
