Does breast lift implant by surgery affect breast feeding?

Thank you for your question.  You will likely be able to breast feed after a breast lift, but some women will note a decreased ability.  It really depends on how much breast tissue is removed and how much of the breast tissue is separated from the breast ducts.  Typically, a breast lift does not remove a tremendous amount of tissue (compared to a breast reduction), so the concern with breast feeding is less.  Make sure you discuss with your board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

You can still breast feed after having a breast lift, but it can diminish milk production if you have a reduction of breast tissue.

Thank you for your question.The scientific literature varies with anywhere from a 30-70% chance of being able to breast feed.



To be sure, see two or more board
certified and experienced plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete
evaluation.



I hope this helps.
