Will there be a decrease in breastfeeding rate after breast reduction surgery?

Hello, The rate of breastfeeding in the community is approximately 65% and it has been found to be 60% after breast reduction. Therefore, we can say that it reduces 8%.

While breast tissue is removed in breast reduction surgeries, some milk ducts are taken. This is why postoperative breastfeeding depends on the size of the tissue to be removed. Although a rate of 50% is stated in the studies, this completely varies from person to person. Breastfeeding is a complex process that depends on many hormones and systems working together. Sometimes people who have never had surgery may not be able to breastfeed.

HELLO WE CANNOT SAY THE RATE OF BREASTFEED DROP DIRECTLY AFTER BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY. IF THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE IS USED IN THE APPROPRIATE PATIENT, THERE WILL NOT BE AN OBSTACLE TO BREASTFEEDING.

breastfeeding is not parallel to the tissue, there are 15-25 lobes in each breast, whereas there are 5-10 MESH in these lobes. As a result, even if there are 3-5 breast tissue, it produces enough milk in one breast to feed that child. MILK RATE DOES NOT CHANGE

You may be unable to give milk at a rate of 1-3% after surgery. Get well soon
