Plastic surgeons discourage women who wish to have a child and breastfeed in the future from having a breast reduction surgery. This is mainly because of the major alterations in skin and breast tissue that are involved in this surgery.
Plastic surgery has advanced enough in recent years to ensure the breastfeeding abilities of a woman. Techniques that preserve the milk-producing tissue are being reviewed and incorporated in breast reduction procedures and other surgeries like breast augmentation, breast lifts and even mastectomies and nipple reconstructions.
It is important to preserve the state of the milk ducts in a cosmetic breast surgery procedure besides protecting the nerves that affect the release of milk as well. If damaged, these ducts and nerves can be regenerated with the help of procedures like recanalization and reinnervation respectively.
In case the generation of milk and its release is reduced after a breast surgery, there is help for women. The Breast Feeding After Reduction (BFAR) website is an information and support portal for parents and mothers who wish to beast-feed after a breast reduction surgery.
