I Am 5'1 And three quarters hehe. I'm considering getting 420-450cc of silicone implants. If the implants are placed sub pectoral will I be able to breast feed later on ? Also will it hurt more ? Where would the incision be made I know It can't through my areola because that would defeat the purpose of me trying to breastfeed. HELP !

Answer: Breastfeeding After Breast Augmentation Yes, if you have normal nipples and milk ducts, you should be able to breastfeed after you have implants placed under the muscle. In general, breast implants placed under the muscle can hurt more than implants placed under the breast tissue in the immediate postoperative period. This is due to the stretching and partial release of the pectoralis muscle. However in most patients placing the implants is well worth the extra postop discomfort. Good luck with your upcoming surgery.

Answer: Breastfeeding Hello, thank you for your question. You should be able to breastfeed without any problems after breast augmentation. Periareolar incisions won't pose a problem for breastfeeding, but personally, i like the submammary approach because there is no pulling in the areola to fit in the implant, and recent trends indicate that going trough the areola might provoque contamination of the implant from bacteria residing in the milk ducts, with a higher probability for capsular contracture on the long run. The approach differs from one surgeon to another, and it also depends on the patient, so talk it out with your plastic surgeon. Good luck
