Can you still breastfeed after breast augmentation?
There are two main ways to breast-feed breast augmentation surgery. One is autologous transplantation, which absorbs fat from one's abdomen, legs and other places and injects it into the breast; The other is prosthesis transplantation, in which a silicone prosthesis is implanted into the chest cavity. Generally speaking, most of these two methods will not affect breastfeeding in the future.

The reason why doctors advise unmarried childless women to postpone the breast augmentation plan is because breast augmentation may indeed cause breastfeeding difficulties. Second, even if it does not affect breastfeeding, the breast shape will still change after pregnancy and breastfeeding. In this way, the prosthesis selected before may not fit the natural chest shape so well and needs to be readjusted.

Insiders also pointed out that under the temptation of economic benefits, some hospitals and beauty salons without plastic surgery qualifications compete for breast augmentation, which has hidden dangers for the safety and effect of surgery. Once there are some accidents, it will spread to the breasts.

Infection, lump and fibrosis of the breast may affect the normal physiological function of the breast and cause lactation disorder.

The position of breast augmentation depends on the position of incision in breast structure. The incision of prosthesis implantation is generally selected in a relatively hidden position. At present, the commonly used surgical incisions are areola incision and axillary incision. Because some women often do areola incision filling surgery to hide the scars left after operation.

In order to put the filled prosthesis into the body, the incision at the areola is large, and part of the mammary duct has been cut off, thus losing the breastfeeding ability forever.

Implantation position Prosthesis breast augmentation generally chooses to place the prosthesis in two positions inside the breast, one is under the pectoralis major muscle and the other is implanted in the posterior space of the breast.

Implantation in the posterior breast space is to place the breast prosthesis under the superficial breast tissue of pectoralis major. The operation is simple, the damage is small, and the appearance and shape of the breast augmentation part are natural.

Implantation of pectoralis major is to place breast prosthesis in the deep layer of pectoralis major, which can reduce the chance of prosthesis damage and fibrocystic contracture.

Implanting prostheses in these two parts is chosen because they are located behind the breast, so that the breast can be unaffected by the prosthesis.

Even after giving birth, it will not affect women's breastfeeding under normal circumstances. However, there are fewer operations to implant a prosthesis under the breast, because the possibility of damaging breast tissue during the operation is greater than that of implanting a prosthesis under the pectoralis major.

If the breast of the milk production base is damaged, there is naturally no way to breastfeed.

Injection of breast augmentation to see the material chemical gel Ogilvy injection

Chemical gel is mostly used for breast augmentation by injection, and Ogilvy was the most used one before.

After it is decomposed in the human body, it can affect the nervous system, cause endocrine disorders and cause cancer. China banned Ogilvy and Mather in 2006.

If other chemical gels are used for injection, if the operation is not standardized, drugs may be injected into many wrong levels: injection into pectoralis major will cause obvious pain; After injection into the breast, the acinus and glandular duct will be filled with gel, which will lead to the blockage of glandular duct and the entry of bacteria into glandular duct during lactation. Nutrient-rich milk, as the best "culture medium", will make bacteria multiply rapidly, causing serious infection and suppuration.

Therefore, it is generally not recommended for women who have breast augmentation to breastfeed.

Liposuction and breast enhancement

Liposuction breast enhancement is the use of autologous tissue as breast enhancement material, which is non-toxic and harmless to human body, and the human body itself will not produce immune reaction or rejection reaction to injected autologous fat tissue. Liposuction and breast enhancement will cause changes in the endocrine environment of the human body and will not cause harm to the breast itself.

Therefore, liposuction and breast enhancement will not have adverse effects on future fertility and breastfeeding.

Expert opinion Dr. Weidong Wan, Deputy Chief Physician of Plastic Surgery, Nanjing Zhong Da Hospital:

For women who have been injected with breast augmentation but have fertility intentions, they can take out the injection materials before giving birth, but they must find a specialist in the hospital for treatment. For qualified women after excision, silicone prosthesis can be placed, which not only avoids serious breast deformation, but also is safe and reliable.
