>As you may have heard, she has had her breast implants reduced from a D cup
to a C cup.

I thought she just had her implants taken out completely, not reduced in size.

But seriously folks, Pamela Anderson's breasts (with implants) were
unbelievably humongous.  Not quite as obscene as that Italian porn
star/politician's or Dolly Parton's, but WAY WAY WAY more than a D cup.  Who
in the WORLD does she think she is fooling????

Early augmentation surgery often just sliced open the breast midway between
areola and armpit, and stuffed in a bag of silicone.  This was likely to
sever many ducts, destroy nerve sensations in the nipple, etc.  More recent
techniques involve an incision next to one's navel, and the implant is
placed either between pectoral muscle and glandular tissue, or within the
pectoral muscle, thus not cutting any of the milk ducts.  The more recent
kind are much less likely to interfere with breastfeeding.

Breast reduction surgery is more of a problem, and usually a lot of ducts
and glandular tissue are removed, and often the nipple/areola is completely
severed and placed on a side dish during surgery, then reattached.  This not
only results is complete loss of sensation in the nipple/areola, but also
lots and lots of scar tissue making it difficult to get milk to the nipple.
