Breastfeeding With Implants
It is completely possible to breastfeed after having a breast augmentation procedure. After you have had your breast augmentation, your skin that is behind your breast tissue is filled with a sack of silicone. Sometimes this implant is placed under the skin while sometimes it may be placed under the muscles. Although, after your surgery your nipple and mammary glands will not be affected in anyway shaped or form.
However, if you have had areola surgery incision, your milk duct glands maybe damaged which would cause you to lose your ability to breastfeed. If you have this type of incision the chances of you being able to breast feed are slim. If you have any of the other incision types though, this may not be an issue causing your inability to breast feed.
There have been many successful reports of women who can breastfeed after having a breast augmentation procedure. However, you should closely look at your ability to breast feed. You should closely monitor your milk supply very closely, in order to ensure that you have no problems feeding your child. Although just because you can breastfeed your child does not mean that you have no problems, this is why you should monitor your milk supply.Furthermore, it is important to note that the amount of milk that can make it out of the nipple needs to be sufficient to give the baby the proper nutrition so monitoring your ability to supply the milk is important as the hormones used to tell the breasts to release the milk may also be decreased due to sensitivity issues relating to the augmentation procedure.
You must always ask questions so that you are well informed of all the issues that pertain to breastfeeding and breast augmentation. Many Doctors and gynecologists have sufficient expertise to answer any of your questions clearly. They are also capable of determining the amount of milk the body is being released in order to ensure your baby is getting a sufficient amount of nutrition. Your baby’s health is important and having the right information will help you make an informed decision in the event that you are unable to supply your baby with an adequate milk supply.
