So that is an excellent question. While you should be able to nurse, the first question is can you nurse prior to breast augmentation. Just because you got implants and can't nurse, does not mean that the implants caused it. IF you could nurse prior to augmentation, you should be capable of this afterwards. However, the next issue is, should you nurse? This is controversial. Some believe there is an increased incidence of capsular contracture. There have been some unsubstantiated reports of adverse effects on children who are nursed by women with silicone implants but these are anecdotal and have not been supported.
You should still be able to breast feed after a dual plane breast augmentation. However, not all women can breast feed, but this implant placement should not change things. I do this procedure frequently for the results desired and have not had any trouble, but not all of my patients try to breast feed, so that is why the national data is more important to review as mentioned in previous responses.
hdbavf10010. Dual plane breast augmentation involves sub muscular breast augmentation with partial sub glandular dissection. Breast feeding after this operation should be possible, but other factors are involved and guarantees cannot be made. Be certain to discuss your options and concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck.
Good question. The ability to breast feed should not be affected by having a dual plane breast augmentation. Best of luck.
Implants under the muscle placed with an inframammary fold incision should have low risk of interfering with breast feeding. Please not there are two methods for under muscle placement: dual plane, and split muscle. Dual plane involves detaching a portion of the pectoral muscle, the split muscle plane does not.
Breast augmentation will not interfere with breast feeding. The dual plane or under the muscle approach will suit you well with a very low risk to breast sensation or lactation.
The ability to breast-feed is mostly related to the approach. From the inframammary fold there is less than a 10% decreased ability to breast-feed, through the axillary area it is typically zero influence on breast-feeding, and around the areola it can be close to 40% decreased ability to breast-feed. I have many patients who are very successful breast-feeding after an inframammary fold approach with the dual plane placement. Be sure to discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

You should be able to breast feed after an augmentation. Of note, 5% of women can't breast feed at baseline so it may not be related to breast surgery at all. Hope that helps!
Breast feeding should be possible after augmentation if the milk ducts are not interrupted. It is important to be aware that some women cannot breast feed, even without augmentation. If you choose to have augmentation now, be sure to discuss this issue with your surgeon. Some advice would be to avoid too large and avoid a periareolar incision. Also consider doing the augmentation after your pregnancy. Good luck to you.
Thanks for the question:You will still have a strong likelihood of breastfeeding following a sub muscular or dual plane breast augmentation. The quoted rates following a breast reduction is 70% successful and rates following an augmentation will be even higher. There are no risks to a baby when breastfeeding from a breast augmented breast. Please be aware that the shape, size and position of your breasts may change following pregnancy and at that stage, you may need a lift of your breasts.I hope answer has helped you.
