I have breastfed 3 children for at least 3 years each and I may still have one more child but will be getting an augmentation before my last child. I am leaning toward subglandular placement but am concerned about breastfeeding ability after the procedure, which is very important to me.
Answer: Submuscular vs. Subglandular Statistically you should be able to breast feed regardless whether your implants are submuscular or subglandular. I would recomend avoiding the peri-areolar incision and select an inframammary incision.

Answer: Breast implant and breast feeding Subglandualr ( over the musle ) or under the muscle implants, both do not interfere with breast feeding. Subglandular implant is preferred in those cases where there is sag and you are not willing for simultaneous breast lift . Placement of submuscular implants in saggy breasts , can cause unnatural look. The correct procedure for you can be determined by your plastic surgeon, after assessment.

Answer: Subglandular placement - does it interfere with breastfeeding? Subglandular implant placement will not interfere with breastfeeding, nor will submuscular placement. However, I am surprised that out of 13 answers thus far, only one other respondent (Dr. Seckel) has advised you that subglandular placement has a significantly higher risk of capsular contracture. This needs emphasis, as capsular contracture can often require surgical correction, and recurrence is unfortunately common after previous CC surgery. Consider submuscular placement. Even with the possibility for activation distortion with submuscular implants (this is uncommon, but can occur), capsular contracture is a much worse issue, and much more difficult to definitively correct. A majority of plastic surgeons advise submuscular placement. For more information, click on the web reference link below for my Comprehensive Guide to Breast Augmentation. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Answer: Breastfeeding post BA Hello,Thank you for your question. Other than incisions around the areolas which can pose a risk to nipple function, the placement of an implant subglandular or subpectoral should not negatively affect breastfeeding. All the best
