Will I Be Able to Breastfeed After Breast Augmentation and Doughnut Mastopexy?

Hello! Thank you for your question! Breast procedures such as the
breast lift and breast reduction certainly result in a more shapely,
perky, and fuller appearance of your breasts along with raising of the
nipple-areolar complex to an appropriate position. Since there is an
incision made around the areola along with some rearrangement of tissue
of the breast, there is a risk, albeit very small, of change in
sensation to the area. However, in terms of breastfeeding, studies have
shown that there is no increased risk of changing your ability to do so
after breast procedures. Not every woman can breastfeed...thus if you
can now, your ability to do so will not change after such procedures.
Best wishes!

The doughnut mastopexy typically does not remove any tissue, depending on how it was performed by your surgeon. Also your breast ducts should not have been cut in this procedure and so they should flow easily with any milk you make.

 

Thank you for the question.Although there is a risk of not being able to nurse after any type of breast surgery, I find that most patients are able to breast-feed after breast surgery.I hope this helps.

There is a risk of inability to breastfeed with any breast procedure, but there are plenty of patients who have had your surgery and have breastfed successfully.To see a dramatic improvement in asymmetry with a breast augmentation and donut mastopexy, click on the link below.All the best. 

It is likely that you  will be able to breast feed after a breast augmentation and donut mastopexy but you will not know for sure until you try.  Good luck.

You should be able to breast feed after a concentric nipple/areolar reduction and breast augmentation.  Rember that another pregnancy may stretch the breast again.  The doughtnut lift could possibly not be enough of a lift after another session of breast feeding.  You may then become a candidate for another more involved breast lift.  Also, a bigger implant may be useful in order to fill up a loose skin envelope.

Thank you for your question. I have performed well over 1000 breast augmentations and hundreds of breast lifts of all types. In general, my finding is that if you were able to breast feed before your surgery, you should be able to breast feed afterwards. Obviously, there are no guarantees. The bottom line is give it a try. If you don't produce enough milk, there is no harm in supplementing with a bottle. Good luck.
