If you have had had breast surgery, including breast implants, you might be worried about whether you will be able to breastfeed. The most important things that affect whether you can produce enough milk for your baby are how your surgery was done and where your incisions are, and the reasons for your surgery.
For example, women who have had incisions in the fold under the breasts are less likely to have problems producing milk than women who have had incisions around or across the areola. Incisions around the areola can cut into milk ducts and nerves, where milk is produced and travels. And women who have had breast surgery to augment breasts that never fully developed may not have enough glands to produce a full milk supply.
If you had breast surgery and are worried about how it will affect breastfeeding, talk with a lactation consultant. If you are planning breast surgery and worried about how it will affect breastfeeding, talk with your surgeon about ways he or she can preserve as much of the breast tissue and milk ducts as possible.
