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: Lactation question Thanks for your inquiry, I suggest you see your doctor to discuss. He/he can check a prolactin level. If elevated, further evaluation may be needed, 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.
