Can I Breastfeed After Breast Augmentation Surgery?

​

Breast augmentation surgery is preferred in cases where breast volume is insufficient or when the volume decreases over time, to restore fullness. Although different techniques and various implant brands are used in these surgeries, one of the most frequently asked questions post-surgery is whether breastfeeding will be affected.

Since no harm is done to the milk glands or milk ducts during breast augmentation surgery, there is no problem with breastfeeding. However, in surgeries involving breast reduction, breast lift, or breast lift with implants, breast tissue is manipulated, which can affect breastfeeding as shown in studies. Although the risk is low, there is still a possibility.
