Breast Feeding After Breast Reduction Surgery Breast reducing surgery is one of the most common aesthetic surgery procedures. Breast reducing surgeries are carried out for aesthetics and medical purposes. The ability to breast feed after the surgery is dependant on the technique that is used during the breast reducing surgery. In breast reducing surgery, the aesthetic operation can be done without harming the potential of breast feeding, by not harming the milk producing breast tissue and channels that carry the milk to the nipple. There are techniques in breast reducing surgeries where the milk channels could be harmed. During the examination with your plastic surgeon, you will be asked if you anticipate any future pregnancies. Depending on your answer, the technique of your breast reduction surgery will be decided.
