The advantages of breastfeeding are well documented thus many women considering breast augmentation are interested by the effects, especially since several candidates still plan on having children. The foremost common questions are do the breasts still produce and deliver milk and is the safety of the milk affected by implants?
Breast augmentation, like all surgical procedures, can have side effects. Your ability to safely breastfeed does have a chance of being of affected, however it's more than likely that you'll be able to breastfeed normally. There are decisions that your surgeon will guide you through that will minimize the likelihood of breastfeeding being affected.
Two sorts of incisions for breast augmentation are round the nipple, and the inframammary incision, which is on the crease on the bottom of the breast. The inframammary incision causes no division of milk glandular tissue or ducts, and reduces the danger of any negative effect on breastfeeding. Incisions round the nipple do divide some of the milk glands, which makes it a bit more risky, but breastfeeding has a high probability of being successful with either incision.
The risk to babies breastfeeding from breasts with implants has been the focus of many studies. Thus far there has been no proof that there are any risks. I will safely say that breastfeeding with implants is safe for your baby and you.
Pregnancy can cause a natural droop of the breasts, and a few women with breast implants decide not to breastfeed for fear that it will have a negative effect on the results of their surgery. About three years ago a study suggested that breast were affected by pregnancy irrespective of whether the mother breastfed or not. My experience suggests otherwise.
Women who would like to enhance the shape or size of their breasts will probably not have their ability to breastfeed be affected by their surgery, though there is a possibility. Discuss your considerations with your surgeon and together you'll make selections that can minimize the risks while enjoying the results. - 30516
