I never stop lactating after I was done breast feeding my kids. My oldest is 15 and my youngest is 8. To this day if my nipples are pinched I leak milk. My only concern is with the implants forcing against the milk ducks, is will that cause me to leave milk all the time?
Answer: Milk secretion? You may have a medical issue that might need to be addressed. Talk to your PMD first before doing breast augmentation. There are certain endocrine issues that might need to be ruled out first. Hope this helps.

Answer: Lactation after breast augmentation In 30 years of practice with over 1000 breast augmentations, I have seen this problem 3 times. Yes breast implants can stimulate the milk glands and cause significant lactation in susceptible, thank the lord few individuals. See your primary doc to check Prolactin levels and rule out a pituitary gland tumor that can cause an increase in the hormone Prolactin that stimulates milk production. Good luck...

Answer: Can breast implants put enough force on milk ducts causing you to leak if you're no longer breast-feeding? Thank you for this important question. About 1/4 of women who breast fed can still produce milk like substance from their nipples, especially with stimulation. It is not entirely abnormal, but if your milk production is a concern, then I would suggest check you blood level of a hormone called Prolactin. This is made in the pituitary gland and it can be elevated in some people. If your prolactin hormone level is normal then there's no reason to avoid having breast surgery. However, in my patients over the age of 33, I do recommend a mammogram before surgery to be sure they are free of any other breast pathology.
