Can I breastfeed after a lollipop type breast lift and augmentation 5 and a half years ago? (photos)

BridiemMay 12, 2015

I thought I was finished having children so 5 and a half years ago I had a breast augmentation and lift. The surgeon cut around the areola and reduced the size of them. Now I am pregnant again and desperate to breastfeed. What are my chances? I breastfed my 8 year old exclusively for 9 months. Thanks

Thank you for your question. Rippling can be seen when the surface of an implant shadows through the tissue, often found where the breast tissue coverage is thin. It can happen in one or both breasts. Some implant styles are more prone such as an overfilled saline implant. Others are less prone...

Hello and thanks for your post. The best source of information is your rheumatologist who is familiar with the specifics of your situation. I do not believe that silicone will exacerbate your condition, but the topic is controversial. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO.

Hi. IMHO you do not need a lift and could have excellent results with just a breast augmentation. I would suggest smooth, silicone gels, partial submuscular placement with implants in the range of 400 CCs moderate plus profile inserted through an infra- mammary fold incision. The augmentation...
