Breastfeed after fat transfer enlargements?

Question

I am 27 years old, 5'3", 140lbs, and a 34A. I've always been small breasted, but my breasts have decreased in size after breastfeeding both of my children. I am interested in fat transfer breast enlargements, but could I still breastfeed after the procedure since I still want one or two more children?

Any procedure to the breast has the potential of interfering with breast feeding. However, the risk appears to be low with fat transfers.
