What Breast Feeding Complications are Associated W/ Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

User Avatar

I am debating between "natural" breast augmentation using fat grafts and traditional breast augmentation using saline implants placed below the muscle and inserted either thru the areola or the axilla. I want to know if there is any evidence suggesting fat transfer to the breasts may adversely affect a woman's ability to breastfeed, and if so, whether this risk is GENERALLY greater than that associated with the aforementioned "traditional" approach to augmentation using implants.
