After undergoing a breast augmentation procedure, the sensitivity in the niple could either heighten and peak or fall completely into a state of numbness, yet many of the women that have undergone a breast augmentation procedure before have reported that they have still been able to breastfeed with breast implants inserted.
Depending on the type of surgical incision you choose will it be easier for you to breastfeed with breast implants. If you are currently thinking about having children in the near future however, you might want to ask your plastic surgeon what your best options are. They might advise you to just wait, but not because breastfeeding will become an issue. On the contrary, many surgeons suggest to wait because pregnancy and the fluctuation of your body weight can ultimately cause a lot of changes to the breast tissue, with or without breast implants. This however, is ultimately your decision to make. If you believe that you would rather have your breast implants now, all power to you.
When it comes to breast augmentation there are so many options to choose from that it might become a somewhat confusing or complicated task to do. When it comes to childbearing and breast augmentation however, what you should look into most is the kind of incision you might choose to go with at the end of the day. The areola incision is one of the most common incision locations to insert the implants. It is a small incision around the outskirts of the nipple where the implant will be slipped right under the breast tissue, yet this incision can make it pretty difficult to breastfeed a child. Trans-axillary and inframammary incisions are your best bets when it comes down to breastfeeding.
Many factors in a breast augmentation procedure come into play when it comes to being able to breastfeed after undergoing a breast augmentation procedure, and one of the most important is to make sure to not damage the nerves around the nipple, since the nerves will send signals to the brain to release the necessary hormones required to breastfeed your child.
Planning on giving birth on the future should not stop you from undergoing a breast augmentation procedure if you think that this procedure will help change your life forever. This concern is very common among women undergoing a breast augmentation procedure but should not hold you back. Breastfeeding is still possible with or without breast implants, just be sure to speak to your surgeon about this so that he can clear up any questions and concerns you might have.
