Patient: I got checked out in August and I am pregnant. They say that breastfeeding is good for mastopexy and I hope to be able to breastfeed. However, there is a little concern because I had a mammary fibroid removal surgery ten years ago and because there were two, there were two incisions on my breast. I wonder if the surgery damaged the mammary glands and caused me to not be able to breastfeed. Actually, it doesn’t matter if I don’t breastfeed. I’m also worried that the estrogen rises when I’m pregnant, which stimulates the breast growth even more. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to breastfeed. Qin Yuenong, Department of Breast Medicine, Shanghai Longhua Hospital: First of all, congratulations to the mother-to-be. Whether or not breastfeeding will be affected after fibroadenoma surgery depends on the site and extent of the lump, but for now you don’t have to think much about it, just let nature take its course. Pregnancy is more about the rise of progesterone, which will further develop the mammary glands and promote the opening of breast ducts, which is beneficial. After childbirth, the breast gland will be restored and will not cause the hyperplasia to worsen.
