PTP

I have been asked this question by a mom.

<When I was 18...8 years ago I got a nipple piercing a week later I had to go to urgent care for a cellulus(spelling?) infection. My nipples had rejected the piercings because of the infection, the Dr told me it was probably a unsanitary piercing.3 years ago with my son I was unable to breastfeed because after about an hour and a half to two hours my breast would leak like a faucet. I would become completely saturated within minutes and it was so bad I would wake up in puddles, we had to replace our mattress! I couldn't leave the house and it ruined my clothes.
 
I have looked at my nipples and one side is worse than the other ( my left). On my left nipple there is a tear and in the tear a large hole ( large compared to any other milk duct) On my right there is tearing. I am very stressed about not being able to breastfeed again. I reached out to a local group for breastfeeding mothers and a Lactation Consultant suggested I might have had an oversupply in addition to the problem nipples.

I am willing to do almost anything my recent thought was maybe there was some sort of reconstruction that could be done to fix a torn duct?>

Does anyone have any input?
