Rare for patient to be unable to breastfeed after lift surgery

Francisco Canales, MD answers: Is it possible to breastfeed after breast lift surgery?

I have successfully breastfed 4 children in the past. Two years ago I had a breast lift and augmentation. Now, I am unexpectedly expecting and would love to be able to breast feed this new baby. What are my chances?

Hello Jennifer,

You have proven you can breast feed, as you have done so successfully 4 previous times. Our experience has been that it is rare that a patient cannot breast feed after an augmentation/lift, so I think the odds are with you. Discuss it with your plastic surgeon and he/she will be able to give you some numbers pertinent to his/her individual experience. Good luck with the baby!
