Pregnancy and surgeries – Will my breast implants affect breastfeeding?

Today, we all value our appearance more than ever, and one of the most desirable and effective procedures for physical improvement is breast implants. However, many women with breast implants worry that it will cause complications with breastfeeding when the day comes. Although breastfeeding with implants is not a risk to children, it can affect a mother’s capacity to produce a full milk supply. Typically, it all depends on where the incisions are made.

Incisions that are made under the fold of the breast should not interfere with a woman’s ability to breastfeed. However, it is common to have an incision made around or across the areola because it seems to have the best cosmetic result. Unfortunately, this method can affect the ability to breastfeed. This method risks damaging the milk ducts and injuring the nerves that are an important stimulant for nursing.

Considering the placement of your incisions is always important, especially if you have intentions of breastfeeding in the future. Talk to your surgeon, know the risks, and find the best option for you and your future. For more information on Breast Augmentation at Bonaldi Aesthetics, please visit https://www.bonaldimd.com/.
