Breast Implants and Breast Feeding

Nowadays the amount of Breast Augmentation Surgeries has grown, and women receive implants without matter of whether they have already finished with childbearing or not. But the question about the possibility of breastfeeding after Breast Augmentation Surgery is still being interested by many women. As some women say, breastfeeding with implants is easier than without them.

The history of development of implants is that earlier, when there was only silicon in use and it became known that the silicone molecule could pass into the milk ducts, many women were afraid of breastfeeding with silicone implants not to affect the unborn child. But when saline implants were become to use instead of silicone, the situation changed. The matter of fact is that Saline implant contains inactive elements that do not harm either mother or baby.

The other concerns connected with breastfeeding after Breast Augmentation Surgeries are referred to implant placement, and incision site. There is the most common belief that the implant placed under the muscle is more preferable than the peri-aerolar incision. Such opinion is connected with the fact that the implant placed under the muscle has a little interference with the milk ducts, as it dwells under the skin and in the tissue above the muscle of the breast. But it is not a guarantee, as women with the peri-aerolar incision have had no any problems with breastfeeding.

But be remembered that before the operation it is necessary to consult your surgeon about the whole interested you questions.
