Does breast augmentation affect breastfeeding?

Breast augmentation surgery can achieve a more significant breast enhancement effect, which is also an important reason why more and more women choose breast augmentation surgery to make their breasts bigger. However, during the breast augmentation surgery, women have to choose different breast augmentation methods according to their physical conditions, because there are many methods of breast augmentation, such as breast augmentation with implants, autologous fat breast augmentation, etc. At the same time, you also need to consider whether breast augmentation will affect breastfeeding.

Can I still breastfeed after breast augmentation?

1. Breastfeeding is prohibited after the injection of artificial synthetic materials. This material may be mixed with monomers during the production process. After entering the body, it is likely to decompose over time. These monomers or decomposed components not only pose a health threat to the person undergoing breast augmentation surgery, but can also be ingested by the baby through the mammary ducts, causing harm to the baby whose immunity is not yet mature.

2. You can breastfeed after breast augmentation with autologous fat injection. Autologous fat may be broken down into triglycerides in the body, which is a normal nutrient and has no effect on human health. Some autologous fat may form fat cysts or calcifications after being injected into the chest, but this has no effect on breastfeeding and will not threaten the health of the baby.

Breast augmentation precautions

1. Timely decide on the incision for breast augmentation and the level of implantation of breast augmentation implants. The incisions can be axillary incisions, inframammary fold incisions, or incisions around the areola. The implants can be implanted behind the pectoralis major muscle or behind the breast.

2. Decide on the type and size of breast implant based on the patient's own conditions and requirements.

3. The selection of breast augmentation materials: This is a very important issue for any patient, including whether the source of the materials meets national requirements and whether the materials have corresponding test data, at least the test data that can be obtained domestically.

4. Only those who have undergone a comprehensive physical examination and have no serious medical diseases or local infection can undergo breast augmentation surgery.

5. Breast augmentation surgery should be performed during the menstrual period. To avoid prosthesis rupture, everyone must pay attention to rest more after the operation and try to sleep in a semi-recumbent position. Do not do strenuous exercise or raise your upper arms within one month after the operation, as this can easily cause the breast augmentation implant to shift.

6. After the operation, the wound should be cared for to avoid infection. The stitches can be removed within one week after the operation. After that, everyone should wear tights and not bras to prevent the prosthesis from deforming.

The question of whether you can still breastfeed after breast augmentation has been answered above. In fact, when doing breast augmentation, it depends on the type of breast augmentation. Some surgeries allow normal breastfeeding, but some surgeries do not allow breastfeeding. If you want to have breast augmentation, it is best to do it after your baby is weaned so that you can have good care. There are many things to pay attention to during breast augmentation and many things to do after the augmentation.
