I read that you may or may not be able to breast feed after a breast reduction!! It said that they take out some of the milk ducts!! Some people are able to and some aren't after the surgery. I know this because I wanted to get one but was afraid of the possibility of not being able to breastfeed! So decided to leave my big breast alone!!:) I'd rather breastfeed!

The only reason I went through with my reduction was because the surgeon told me 100% I could. The ONLY reason you would not be able to is if you had alot of reconstructive surgery moving your nipples, in which case your nerves would not all heal back to how they were before....(e.g. having less sensation than you had before the reduction, and maybe not being able to produce breastmilk).
Talk with you surgeon and find out how much work will actually have to be done and he should be able to tell you what the chances are in your specific case.
Good luck.

My cousin couldn't. To do a reduction they usually have to remove the nipples and place them in a different position and most of the time the insurance won't cover the extra surgery or trying to reattach milk glands. She got the reduction 4 years before getting pregnant and the insurance wouldn't pay to have the glands reattached.

Yup. Most of the time. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to. Dr.'s say there's a small chance you won't be able to with implants, but a reduction shouldn't be any more dangerous.

Yes, most can, it depends on the procedure and the quality of work of the surgeon.

I think you probably can. They probably remove underlying fat tissues, but leave all the mammary ducts alone. Ask your plastic surgeon to be sure.

Ask the doctor.
