Breast reduction surgery is the only solution that will help the patient get relief from persistent back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by the weight of the breast and the pressure they put on the spine. This is also the reason why many women want to go under this procedure. Breastfeeding after breast reduction is not impossible but might be difficult. The rule of thumb is that the larger the amount of gland removed the lower the chances for the patient to have the ability to breastfeed again.
