Hi everyone! I want to know if breast reduction and breastfeeding after is possible? I want to get mine reduced but I’m 22 and have not had kids yet. {Sidenote : I don’t plan to anytime soon either} I am a big health nut and I see more evidence that natural breast milk is more nutritious for babies. That’s why I would like to be able to breastfeed or at least have the ability to. Would it be a bad idea for me to go through the reduction surgery then?

There is a 3x increased chance of inadequate milk production following any kind of breast surgery according to the Institute of Medicine. So if you would like to breastfeed (which I agree is best for your baby) then you should probably avoid breast implants.

If you're looking to increase your bust size there are all kinds of non-surgical breast enhancement techniques, using bust enhancing bras and silicone padding. You would be surprised at how effective they are!
