Can I breast-feed after having breast augmentation?
Breastfeeding is a concern for many women considering breast augmentation, but the ability to successfully breastfeed is determined by your body and anatomy before the surgery and is unaffected by the breast augmentation surgery. We tell patients that if you could breastfeed prior to the procedure you should be able to breastfeed after the procedure. The placement of implants (above or under the muscle) does not affect your ability to breastfeed, as with either placement the implant is under the breast tissue and glands. Therefore, the “milk ducts” are never in position to be severed or blocked related to the surgery.
