Can I breastfeed normally after breast augmentation? Will breast milk flow through the implant position? Will there be any effect on the body after the child is breastfed? This question is often asked by young women who want to undergo breast augmentation surgery, and the vast majority of them are even unmarried women. False rumors about breast implants have made many women fearful of pregnancy and breastfeeding after breast augmentation. However, according to clinical statistics and research, there is no conflict between breast augmentation and pregnancy or breastfeeding, so female candidates do not need to panic. Rumor: After breast augmentation, “toxic milk” can cause cerebral palsy? Truth: Breast implants and mammary glands are not in the “same layer”! Whether breast augmentation surgery affects breastfeeding is mainly related to whether or not the mammary glands and milk ducts have been damaged. At present, the commonly used breast augmentation surgery has implanted breast augmentation and autologous fat transplantation breast augmentation, the surgical level are not in the mammary glands, and will not affect the mammary ducts, so the surgery will not affect breastfeeding. Breast implant breast augmentation Breast implant incision is usually chosen in the armpit, the lower breast fold, areola three locations, areola incision may affect the breast ducts, suitable for women who do not have childbearing needs. Breast implants are usually placed in the posterior space of the pectoralis major muscle or the posterior space of the mammary gland. The newly adopted dual-plane insertion method, in which the implant is partially placed behind the mammary gland and partially placed under the pectoralis major muscle, is more ideal. Some women are worried that due to the use of silicone gel implant, in case of rupture of the implant and leakage of silicone gel, will it contaminate the breast milk. In fact, this concern is not necessary at all. The breast implants are not placed at the same level as the mammary glands. Nowadays, breast implants are usually placed behind the pectoralis major muscle through the armpit, the lower breast crease or areola incision; the mammary gland responsible for milk secretion is in front of the pectoralis major muscle, and the two are separated by the muscle tissue, which is completely isolated from each other. Therefore, the prosthetic component placed behind the pectoralis major muscle, it is impossible to pass through the heavy blockage of the muscle, gland, “penetrate” into the mammary ducts “contaminated” breast milk. In addition, nowadays, the quality of breast implants used in regular hospitals can be guaranteed. Breast implants, the material has been strictly tested, this texture in the guarantee of the softness and elasticity of the implant at the same time, more difficult to break; even if the unfortunate occurrence of breakage, the contents of which will not be free to flow everywhere, more secure. If you receive improper breast augmentation surgery in an informal organization, or use substandard implants, it may bring health risks. However, there are no clinical reports confirming that breastfeeding will be affected after regular breast augmentation surgery with qualified implants, not to mention that breast milk will not jeopardize the baby, and women who have regular breast augmentation need not worry about it, no matter whether it is their “first child” or “second child. The breast augmentation of regular breast implants is not a concern for women, whether they are “first born” or “second born. Autologous fat transplantation for breast augmentation Autologous fat transplantation for breast augmentation is to suck out the excess fat from other parts of the body, and after purification, according to the principle of “a small amount of multiple, gap dispersed injection”, the fat will be dispersed and transplanted to the subcutaneous, under the mammary glands and under the pectoral muscles at three levels in order to enlarge the volume of the breasts. The injection levels will not destroy the integrity of the mammary glands, so it will not affect the normal discharge of breast milk in breastfeeding women. Note: Want to have breast augmentation after breastfeeding? Please be patient and wait for six months! Some mothers’ breasts sag significantly after breastfeeding, so they wish to repair their breast shape as soon as possible. We generally recommend that mothers take a break of at least six months after breastfeeding before it is appropriate to undergo breast implant surgery. This is because, although mothers have finished breastfeeding, there may be a small amount of milk left in the milk ducts, and if implants are inserted at this time, the implantation process may squeeze the milk ducts and cause milk to flow out, which may lead to infection in severe cases. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo the surgery half a year after the end of breastfeeding period so that the safety can be better guaranteed. So friends who want to breast augmentation can not worry, breast augmentation surgery will not affect the woman’s pregnancy and breastfeeding, but also want to remind everyone, must go to the regular medical institutions to receive breast augmentation surgery.
