Answer: Breast reduction after breast feeding
Wait a few months after you have completed breast feeding to allow your breast tissues to resume their typical size, weight and skin quality. If you are able to provide the documentation required by United to pre-approve your breast reduction, you should be able to get it done. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon for assistance with the process.

Answer: Breast Reduction and Breast Feeding?
Thank you for the question.
Most breast reduction procedures involved leaving a certain amount of tissue intact to supply blood flow to the nipple/areola; this tissue is called the pedicle. These “pedicles” can bring blood flow from above (superior) or from below (inferior). It is the presence of this breast tissue that makes breast-feeding an option for many patients who have undergone breast reduction surgery.
I am not aware of any studies that show one technique demonstrating a higher rate of success of breast-feeding. It may be difficult to quantify since some ladies are not able to proceed, without having had breast surgery at all.
I hope this helps.
