Can I breastfeed after breast reduction surgery?

Breastfeeding After Mammoplasty (Breast Reduction Surgery)

A major concern for women considering breast reduction mammoplasty is whether or not they can breastfeed after the surgery. It is possible, however your ability to have a full or reduced milk load depends on a few factors:

how much of the tissue is removed
whether milk ducts have been removed
sufficient gland attachments to the nipple

Other options are available to experience the bonding of breastfeeding, even if your surgery has left you with insufficient milk production. See a lactation specialist for assistance, in this case.
