Face Transplant

Are you considering getting breast implants? Many women do and that’s okay, but many women are not sure especially if they are thinking about having kids. The one concern that strikes many women is what will happen after they have the baby. The most popular question that comes to mind: Will I be able to breastfeed?

The answer to that question is yes. Many women who have had breast augmentation have had no issues being able to breastfeed. However, some have experienced either an increase in sensitivity or a lower production in breast milk. This usually happens because of the placement of the breast implants.

There are 3 methods that are used for the breast augmentation; through the armpit, under the fold of the breast or the most popular through the nipple. Many women tend to have more issues when the implant is inserted through the nipple. This is because nerves around the nipple are severed and this actually causes an increase in the sensitivity factor. Some women could not handle breastfeeding because of this. They found it to be to painful for them and didn’t feel they could handle the pain. This of course caused them to supplement feeding by using a formula for their babies.

If you want to have children in the future, discuss with your doctor how the implants will be placed in your breasts. Do as much research as you can before you have the procedure performed make sure you know all of your options and be sure that if you are pregnant you discuss your implants with your OB GYN. It is a good idea to make sure that they are aware. This will help your OB GYN watch for any problems after you have had your baby. The most crucial times they will watch, will be when you go through engorgement.
