Breast implants: childbirth and breastfeeding
Breast implants and breastfeeding
When planning breast augmentation surgery, many women have many questions. And the most common one concerns future breastfeeding. It is better to consult with the surgeon who will perform the operation, he will competently tell about the interaction of implants and labor.
If a client wants to undergo breast augmentation surgery before the baby is born, specialists try to preserve the possibility of breastfeeding as much as possible. Therefore, the procedure for the operation is individually selected, which allows not to affect the milk ducts and nipple.
Breastfeeding safety with implants
If breast augmentation surgery is performed before pregnancy, in some cases the glands will lose their shape after breastfeeding is stopped. That is due to natural hormonal changes during the period of bearing a child.
Many women are also interested in the question: will implants hinder lactation? The mammary glands with installed endoprostheses do not differ in their functionality from natural ones, they do not affect the feeding process. They do not interfere with milk production, as they are located under the gland.
In addition, expectant mothers do not need to worry about damaging the silicone implant while breastfeeding. Also, the prosthesis in the breast will not affect the child’s health in any way. The implant is manufactured in a special way, the presence of a six-layer shell does not allow the penetration of silicone into soft tissues. In addition, after the surgical intervention during the rehabilitation period, a protective capsule is created around the implant.
How to avoid possible lactation disorders after surgery:
- choose a good clinic and a qualified surgeon;
- using only high quality materials;
- after the operation, at least a year must pass to plan childbirth, after this period the mammary gland tissues will already be restored;
- monitor your condition, in case of pain you should immediately consult a doctor.
A nursing mother may lose milk or not produce enough milk. In such a situation, do not panic, it is usually caused by a reaction of the body. Depending on individual characteristics, a lactation crisis can develop not only with installed implants.
Post-feeding period: is breast augmentation necessary?
In most cases, at the end of lactation, correction of the size and shape of the breast is required. It is caused by stretching of the muscles during hormonal changes. Surgeons offer the best correction methods, since you will not be able to restore the previous tone on your own. In this case, the existing implant is replaced with a larger one in order to compensate for the void that occurs during tissue stretching.
A breast lift technique can also be performed when excess tissue is excised. If the shape changes as a result of tissue prolapse, if the position of the nipple has changed, the doctor may recommend correction of the areola.
When planning breast augmentation surgery before childbirth, it is imperative to visit a surgeon who will tell you about the features of the operation, proper labor, and nursing care. So you can avoid various problems, and your breasts will remain attractive even after breastfeeding. In any case, it is important to understand that after any surgical intervention, recovery proceeds in different ways. No surgeon can guarantee that a breast lift is not needed after pregnancy.
