Yes, you can still breast feed if you had a breast reduction 6 years prior. If your milk glands have not been damaged & they are producing milk you should not have any problems. I know this because my actual suregeon that did my reduction advised me that I would be able to.

∙ 13y agoYou can , but if you have not had your surgery yet, please let your surgeon know that you would like to nurse a baby at some point. That way the surgeon can take extra care to remove only fatty tisue, and that the remaining portion of the breast has fully adequate blood suppy. If you a going to have different nipple placement , the surgeon needs to know that the milk ducts are still attached to the outlet to allow the flow of milk. Even the BEST surgeon cannot guarantee nipple sensation post-operatively , so if you lose some sensation , and you are able to nurse, nipple care is extremely important . It should begin while you are still pregnant [ ask you OB/GYN nurse to teach you ] . Visual inspection of your nipples once or twice a day if you can nurse , and have any loss of sensation is very important to check for visible signs of soreness or cracking of the skin. The hospital nurse-educator can also teach you about this. There is also a support group called La Leche [ the milk ] League that encourages and supports breast feeding, and give help and support to anyone who asks.

∙ 11y agoProbably. If your nipple and areola are still attached to the breast tissue beneath them, there's a good chance you'll be able to nurse. However, if the nipple was removed and then placed on a reconstructed breast, damage to the nerves, milk ducts, and breast tissue may limit your milk flow and diminish sensation in your nipples. Nerves are vital to breastfeeding because they trigger the release of prolactin and oxytocin, two hormones that affect milk production and letdown.
In general, the longer it's been since the surgery, the more sensation you're likely to have in your nipple and areola and the more milk you're likely to produce.
