Can you nurse after having nipple reduction?

Question

I got pregnant after my full mommy makeover and I am concerned I will not be able to nurse this baby like my previous 4. I had a full lift/aug with nipple reduction. Is it all possible?

Dear Kaybs, there is no way to predict this. I would have advised my patient not to count on being able to nurse after nipple reduction but the only way to know is to see if it works when you try. Best wishes to you!!
