Patients who undergo breast reduction may be able to chestfeed, but may have to supplement with formula. There are some anecdotal cases of patients being able to chestfeed after undergoing aggressive breast reduction and buttonhole/inverted T, but for most forms of chest reconstruction this is not possible. For those who receive nipple grafts, the nipples are not connected to milk ducts. Chestfeeding for transfeminine individuals has been anecdotally reported. Patients who undergo breast augmentation can produce milk, but may need to be supplied. If breast/chestfeeding is a priority for you, you can speak with one of our board-certified surgeons in a free consultation.
All virtual and in-person consultations with our board-certified surgeons are free. Once you fill out this form, our patient care team will reach out and guide you through every step to get to surgery.
