Breastfeeding with periareolar implant incision?

Some women, who never had breast surgery, are naturally unable to breastfeed, and some variations of breast augmentation, like peri-areolar incisions, may make it  slightly more likely that you are unable to breastfeed, but most women with breast augmentations are able to successfully breastfeed. Breast implants pose no medical risk to your baby.

I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with.If you live outside of the United States, the surgeon should ideally be a member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). 
Because of your concern, you may want to proceed with an inframammary incision.You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS

In light of this, I would recommend inframmary fold incision for your implant.  The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity.  I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with.   Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

If properly performed, a peri-areolar approach to augmentation should not affect the ability to breast feed. The NAC (nipple areolar complex) should not be undermined thus preserving ductal connections. There is potential for nerve damage during any augmentation approach. The sensation is supplied via the deep tissue and not the skin, thus a skin incision should not technically be a risk factor. However, some patients will report alterations in sensation in the periareolar region after incising this areaThe primary reason to reconsider a peri-areolar approach is the increased risk of capsular contracture relative to the IMF approach (as high as 15%).As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
