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: 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
