21. Wanted reduction since 16. Planning on having children around 30, final reduction after having children. Breasts are mostly tissue and not looseable fat, as proven by a history of steady breast size through yoyoing weight. I want my breast tissue and nipple to stay intact, and I'll deal with reducing tissue/moving the nipple after breastfeeding. Goal: lift so I feel better going braless (which I've been doing for 5 years) and remove some weight loss skin. And cost? Insurance won't cover.

Answer: 28k breasts and want to breastfeed in the future. Is a lift with areola reduction compatible with future breastfeeding? Thank you for the question. Based on your description you may be an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery. However, much more information is needed to determine whether you should proceed with surgery, and if so when (timing). In my practice, I individualize the “timing” of surgery based on a lot of information that is transmitted during the consultation process.Loss or diminished ability to breast-feed is a known risk of all types of breast surgery. It is difficult to quantify the risk associated with breast reduction surgery; much will depend on exactly what technique is utilized and how much breast tissue is removed. There are measures that your plastic surgeon can take to preserve relevant breast tissue. Overall, the majority of patients who undergo breast reduction surgery will be able to breast-feed.

Answer: Breast reduction and breast feeding It is hard to predict how successful a patient might be to breast feed even if they do not have a breast reduction. Certainly with the decreased volume of gland, your ability to solely breast feed without supplementation will be diminished.
