Abstract: | A retrospective study was performed of 30 women who had undergone breast reduction and subsequently wished to breastfeed. Breastfeeding capabilities were assessed by a trained lactation consultant. Findings indicate that in women who have a physiological type of operation then breastfeeding is usually possible (18 patients out of 19), although complementary feeds may be required. We strongly suggest that all functioning breast tissue that remains after reduction mammaplasty be left attached to the nipple in a physiological manner to allow subsequent breastfeeding. |
