Regarding breastfeeding, it’s possible to preserve the ability to nurse in the future depending on the surgical technique used. Modern methods aim to maintain the connection between the nipple and the underlying glandular tissue, which helps protect lactation capability.
If you plan to have children later, be sure to discuss this with your surgeon so they can plan the safest approach.
