One of the most frequent questions that women ask concerning the breast enragement surgery is whether or not they can breastfeed after the surgery.

Do implants affect the milk production or milk supply and the breastfeeding process overall? So we are going to discuss these questions in this article.

First of all, it is important to know how breast augmentation surgery is performed. The surgery involves inserting a silicone or other types of implants into the breasts.

By doing so, it would be possible to enlarge the breasts. At She’s Plastic Surgery, the doctor uses two methods of placing an implant: he either makes an incision in the crease or lines under the breast or he can insert the implant through the incision made under the armpit.

Since the implants are inserted under the chest muscles and behind the mammary gland, they do not pose any risk on milk production and supply.

That also means that you are able to breastfeed after the surgery. In terms of the second question, it is safe to breastfeed with implants. Most women are concerned that they milk production will decrease and it may have a bad effect on a child.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Trusted Source have not found out any clinical evidence of problems in babies who were breastfed by mothers with a silicone implants.

To sum up, if you are planning to enlarge the size of your breast, there is no need to feel worried about breastfeeding after the surgery.

It is okay to breastfeed your baby, and the amount of mil production and supply will not decrease after inserting the silicone implants. However, it is necessary to remember the possible complications or side effects that may appear after the surgery.
