One of the most common concerns women have when considering Cosmetic Breast Surgery is how it might impact breastfeeding or future pregnancies. The reassuring news is that, in most cases, cosmetic breast procedures, whether augmentation, reduction, or uplift, do not prevent women from becoming pregnant or successfully lactating later on. However, the extent of any impact can depend on the type of surgery performed and the techniques used. Breast feeding is often disrupted and prevented when incisions around the nipple and breast re-shaping are done (with reductions and uplifts typically).
Understanding the Impact of Different Procedures
Breast augmentation using implants typically preserves the milk ducts and nipple sensation, especially when implants are placed beneath the chest muscle. A breast reduction or uplift may involve more tissue adjustment, which typically affects milk supply as major glandular tissue dissection are often combined with ducts that are are removed or repositioned. This is why a detailed discussion with your surgeon about future family plans is essential before surgery.
Pregnancy and Aesthetic Changes
Pregnancy and breastfeeding naturally alter breast shape and size. Even after successful surgery, these changes can affect results over time. Mr Philip Turton carefully considers these factors when planning cosmetic breast surgery, ensuring outcomes that remain natural and harmonious through different life stages.
