I had a breast reduction in 1999. I had my first child 2 years later. I couldn't breastfeed with him. Then I had my son last October and my milk did come in----on one side only!!! So, it was too hard and it really wouldn't have worked out. I am due in april again, and maybe i'll have some luck!!!
It really all depends on how much and how complicated the reduction was. ***possibly TMI, but**** if your nipples are relocated due to a large reduction, it could damage the ducts/nerves and whatnot. So, it really all depends on your body!!! Just give it a try, but don't be dissapointed if you can't!!!
I am sooo glad I had it done though!!! Oh, and also with all 3 of my pregnancy's, they NEVER got bigger. They stayed pretty much the same.
Good luck!!!

It is possible to breastfeed after reduction, but you will need to talk to your surgeon about how radical the removal was.
The more tissue removed, the less likely the success of breastfeeding. Often times the nipple is removed and placed in a different spot, this cuts off milk ducts and nerves entirely -- making breastfeeding all the more impossible.
However, some women's breast 'recanalize' or grow back the ducts.
Talk to your surgeon.

Breast help surgical procedure could not intervene with your ability to breast-feed, besides the undeniable fact that topics, secondary infections, or mistakes for the duration of surgical procedure may effect in complications. i might want to propose asking your health practitioner what the speed of such topics is because it does decision significantly from area to area, and in my humble opinion that is continually major to make sure: a million) the probability of topics at this actual medical institution 2) how a lot of those surgical procedures the health practitioner has finished formerly. With something as major as your breasts you do not favor to be the practice dummy for some health practitioner who's attempting this for the first time, neither do you want to flow right into a medical institution that has a larger than universal price of topics (something over a million% is unacceptable). those guidelines are authentic for all surgical procedure. i might want to besides the undeniable fact that propose going for the surgical procedure someplace, once you're pregnant the further weight on your abdomen will placed extra rigidity on your decrease back, and in the journey that your decrease back is already damaged then it may effect in serious topics, so in the journey that your purpose is to have little ones contained in the destiny then that is a serious flow... now to not instruct that once they're little (or perhaps not so little!) they prefer to be held or perhaps as not being waiting to breast feed can be a setback for perhaps the first 6 months to a three hundred and sixty 5 days, not being waiting to carry or carry your toddler because of a decrease back damage might want to be something you and your toddler might want to be apologetic about for most, many years.

It all depends on the kind of reduction you have. I am looking in to having one and the plastic surgeon I saw told me I would not be able to breastfeed if I had a reduction because he would have to move my nipples. If you are small enough that you don't need to move them then breastfeeding should be possible.

No me but my neighbor did. She went from a DD to a C cup and breastfed 3 kids after that.
