Can I nurse if I have had breast surgery?

Many women who have had breast augmentation, implants, or reduction surgery have gone on to have beautiful breastfeeding relationships with their babies. However, there can be difficulties that you may need professional help with. It is important to talk to your doctor and also find an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) that can support you and your breastfeeding experience. You can also find support at the Breastfeeding After Breast and Nipple Surgeries (BFAR) website.
