Rose, I saw a similar incision here in PR done for a breast reduction. The breast looked terribly deformed, so I thought this was some sort of "crazy" MD. As there was nothing to do about it, I said nothing to the mom about the (to me) unusual incision (which was done in South America - Venezuela, I think). I was able to express some colostrum, but very little came out, even though breasts were full by discharge (c/s). Never heard from her again, but I think she really didn't plan to breastfeed, just asked to see the LC on her discharge day to ask if it would be "possible" to breastfeed after surgery.
