Breast feeding after full Areola incision? (Photo)

Firstly, it seems that you have beautiful results. Many women are able to breast-feed normally after various breast surgeries, but this may depend on your surgeons choice of flap design. You should check with your plastic surgeon to get more information and a better idea of whether they think you would be able to breast-feed. With or without surgery, there is a significant percent of woman who cannot breast-feed for a number of other reasons.

Patients that have had a breast augmentation with implants
typically can breast feed without a problem. Likewise patients that have
had a breast lift or breast reduction can breast feed without difficulty. We
have had many patients in our practice that have become pregnant a year to
years after having these procedures and have enjoyed breast feeding without any
issues at all.

Thanks for your question. I have had countless patients go on to breastfeed even with an areolar incision. The ducts can be cut during this approach, but the system is 360 degrees around the areola and quite redundant. It is safest to have a backup plan just in case, but the odds are in your favor.Best wishes.

Congratulations on your recent surgery!  I am not going to say for certainty you will be able to breast feed , however some patients have had no problem with breast feeding following this type of surgery.  Best of luck!

Lots of women have been able to successfully breast-feed after a vertical type mastopexy technique. This is not been fully studied and for sure there are women who have not been successful. It probably depends somewhat on the technique of elevating your nipple and how much rest milk producing tissue was left in the the nipple. Your surgeon will be able to advise you on this and give you an idea. Remember, even without surgery, some women cannot successfully breast-feed.
