Can I breastfeed with breast implants?

In life, many women have breast augmentation surgery for various reasons to restore their self-confidence and make their originally small breasts taller, looser and more upright, which adds a lot of confidence to themselves. However, women who have breast augmentation surgery need to face marriage and childbirth. Everyone knows that breast milk is the best food for children. If their breasts have been augmented, many women are worried that they cannot breastfeed. So, can breast augmentation surgery be used to breastfeed?

Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?

Whether you can breastfeed after breast augmentation depends on the original method of breast augmentation. If it was done with autologous fat injection, you can breastfeed. If it was done with silicone implants, you can breastfeed after checking that there is no leakage. If it was done with other breast augmentation using artificial synthetic materials, you cannot breastfeed even if the implants have been removed. If you breastfeed while using artificial synthetic materials for breast augmentation, it will have a great impact on the health of the baby.

Will breast augmentation affect breastfeeding?

Breasts are composed of mammary glands and fat. After entering puberty, they gradually grow and eventually reach a swollen childish form. The main role of the swelling is played by chest fat and mammary gland tissue. The mammary gland tissue in the breast usually only occupies a part of the breast, and it will not grow and swell until the need for lactation during pregnancy. The mammary gland is the most critical tissue for breastfeeding. If breast augmentation surgery does not damage the mammary gland, it will not affect women's breastfeeding.

At present, the location of the prosthesis after breast augmentation surgery is mainly in the gap behind the pectoralis major muscle and the mammary gland, which will not affect the mammary gland itself. Therefore, from a theoretical point of view, women who have undergone breast augmentation can also breastfeed normally. For those who have just undergone breast augmentation surgery, it is best to reduce excessive physical exercise and sexual intercourse, and try to lie on your back when sleeping to avoid displacement of the breast implant. After one month, you can basically lead a normal life, and there is no need to worry about the breast implant bursting, because a person of normal weight (about 70 kg) will not cause the breast implant to burst due to the pressure generated by one foot on the implant, and there is no need to worry too much about sleeping on your stomach.

It is recommended that women choose regular hospitals and channels when undergoing breast augmentation surgery. Do not blindly listen to the advice of others, do not believe in small advertisements outside, irregular private clinics, etc. If you are accidentally deceived into injecting harmful substances, it will cause great harm to your body and will definitely affect breastfeeding after giving birth. For your children and yourself, it is important to choose a good medical place.
