Can you breastfeed after nipple reconstruction?

Breastfeeding is usually not possible after nipple reconstruction. Most procedures follow a mastectomy, where breast tissue and milk ducts are removed. Reconstructed nipples are primarily cosmetic and lack functional milk production. If you plan future breastfeeding, discuss alternatives with your surgeon to explore options before reconstruction.
