Can I breast feed after benelli breast augmentation & CO2 laser scar treatments to nipples? (Photo)

Question

Had benelli breast augmentation over 2 yrs ago & have scars fraying outwards from nipples (assuming b/c there's too much tension on sutures). Have been getting C02 laser scar treatments. Will I still be able to breastfeed or will benelli aug. & laser treatments have caused damage to milk ducts? Should I stop laser treatments?

Hayley Brown, MD, FACS · Answer

Many women do successfully breast feed after various types of breast surgery so give it a try. Some women may have difficulty or need to supplement. Just as an aside, your scars would look a lot better if you have a scar revision and convert the incision pattern to a lollipop to get the tension off the areola. The vertical component of the scar heals the best and fades, so that the resulting scar around the areola would be much less conspicuous.

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

Generally speaking, breast feeding is certainly doable after breast implants and lift. The laser should have not affected your milk ducts.
