It varies greatly. I believe you stand a (roughly) 50/50 chance of being able to breast feed. It depends on how much breast tissue has been removed/damaged, your genetics and many other factors. A lot of women are not able to breast feed, regardless of whether or not they've had surgery ... so it's hard to predict an accurate percentage.

It depends on the procedure done during the surgery - I had a reduction and they didn't remove the nipple - that's an older technique or one they use with VERY large breasts. Talk to your doctor about the surgical plan and then you won't have to wonder.

I am planning to get one done in April.
the doctor told me it is not possible. They take the whole nipple off. You have to be sure that you are going to want to breastfeed before you have this done. He said that was one of the most important decisions I needed to make.
Also go see several doctors before you pick one.
