Will breast augmentation damage my breast glands? Can I still breastfeed normally after having fat breast augmentation? Many women have great doubts about this question when they first come across fat breast augmentation. In fact, fat breast augmentation will not hurt the mammary glands and therefore will not affect your future breastfeeding, this is certain, why will not hurt the mammary glands here and talk to you about where the fat is actually filled? First of all, let me take a look at the body of the breast. As you can see in this picture, the fatty tissue in the breast is encapsulated around the breast in the form of a hemispherical whole, and this layer of encapsulated fatty tissue is called the fat capsule. The thickness of the fat capsule can vary greatly from one individual to another depending on age, childbirth, and other reasons. The amount of fat tissue is one of the important factors in determining the size of the breast. The levels filled by autologous fat breast augmentation are under the skin, under the pectoralis major muscle, and behind the glandular space. Simply put, the fat filling to these levels will avoid the breast gland, and the fat cannot be filled into the gland at all. There is no damage to the breast gland, so it is completely possible to breastfeed normally after surgery. As shown in the picture How long can I breastfeed after breast augmentation with self fat? It is recommended to breastfeed 6 months after fat augmentation, so as to give the breasts a sufficient recovery time. After fat is injected into the breasts, it takes a cycle to establish blood flow and the internal tissues need at least three months to be fully stabilized. After the fat is stabilized, there will be no problem for normal breastfeeding of children. Reminder: To prevent breast sagging and deflation, it is recommended to strictly control the duration of breastfeeding, usually within six months, and to give milk evenly to both breasts when breastfeeding, so as to avoid the situation of breast size discrepancy after breastfeeding.
