I really want to breastfeed in the future, even though my PS said i will be able to breastfeed. . . i am afraid because everywhere is written that affects the milk ducts and nervs, and also other surgeons confirmed this and don't recommend this type of incision. thank you
Answer: 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.

Answer: Breast Feeding 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

Answer: Peri-areolar augmentation 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).

Answer: Breast feeding and implants The incision location should not affect ability to breast feed. The nerves to the nipple come through the breast not from the surrounding skin. In addition, if done correctly, the procedure should go around the breast/ducts, not into them. Therefore, not affecting ability to breast feed. I prefer not using the periareolar incision, when possible, more because of the contamination of the implant from the bacteria around the nipple/areola.

Answer: Breastfeeding with periareolar implant incision? As sensation and breast ductal tissue is preserved in most techniques, the ability to breastfeed should remain intact. Periareolar implant incision are more likely to cause problems when breastfeeding. Placing the implant under the muscle or through the armpit reduces the risk of damage to your breast tissue and nerves.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
