I don't know - I have a friend who nursed after implants...  I would imagine you should be fine. Be sure to be open and ask lots of questions when the baby is born. The staff a the hospital is a huge resource to help with nursing!  Best of luck!

Yes. I had a reduction and was able to nurse. It was explained to me at the time of surgery that the reduction could affect it, but it didn't.
