A Yes! Depending upon the type of surgery that was performed, most women can produce some amount of milk. Every drop is greatly beneficial for your baby. Breast reduction surgery tends to affect lactation capability the most, although augmentation, lift, diagnostic, and nipple surgeries also can reduce the amount of milk a mother can make.

Plastic surgery to enlarge breasts does not usually prevent breastfeeding. However, plastic surgery to reduce breast size is more likely to interfere with breastfeeding, especially if the nipples have been moved and milk ducts have been cut. Many women who have had this type of surgery are still able to breastfeed. Make sure that your doctor and your baby’s doctor know about your surgery, because your baby will need to be closely watched to make sure he or she is getting enough breastmilk.

It is possible. Very little research has been done, though anecdotal evidence would suggest that in many cases the ability to breastfeed is not altered. Migration is when the jewellery 'moves' into place or 'settles down'. It can stay in its new place or carry on moving until it grows out of the skin. This is rejection.

Pierced nipples do not usually interfere with breastfeeding, but any jewelry should be removed before a breastfeeding session to prevent your child from choking. If your piercing became infected when it was pierced or later, inform your doctor. Infection or scarring may make breastfeeding more difficult. Some of your breastmilk may leak through the pierced hole while you are breastfeeding. This is usually not a problem.

A Many factors directly affect the amount of milk a mother can make after breast or nipple surgery. The condition of her ducts is very important, however, that the state of the nerves that affect milk release is equally critical. Fortunately, the ducts and nerves can regenerate through processes known respectively as recanalization and reinnervation, which are critical to the impact of breast surgery upon milk production and release.

The nipple secretes milk through a system of hundreds of milk ducts, so the process of breast feeding will not be affected. However, if the piercing were infected, the milk would become contaminated and therefore harmful to the baby. It is strongly recommended that the mother remove her jewelry or replace the jewelry with barbells until breast feeding is no longer necessary. Also, at Avant-Garde we will not pierce a pregnant woman's nipples

The nipple and areola are generally not affected. In most cases, the nipple-areola is left attached and moved by relocating the entire gland. There are rare exceptions, such as with patients who have extremely large breasts.

of patients will have decreased nipple sensation (usually temporary) after implant surgery. Avoid incisions near the nipple.

A small percentage (less than 5%) of patients have permanent nipple/areola sensation loss after breast augmentation surgery. Many patients have temporary loss or hyper-sensitivity of the nipple/areola complex. I always take great care during the procedure to ensure that this does not happen.

There is this invention called “Evert-It” which deals with this problem. I bought it from the Internet due to recommendations in a breastfeeding book that I read. The verdict - yes, it helped in the beginning, but once your baby learns the correct latch-on, you won’t need it anymore. I also found that if you use a breast pump, you can achieve the same result. I use Avent Isis. - Nor Azleena By and large this is not a problem that can't be overcome.

The majority of patients have no change in the sensation of the nipple following breast augmentation surgery. There may be a short time following the procedure that the skin of the breast has less sensation but this too will return. Even with the areola incision, sensation is usually preserved.

Feeling in the nipple and breast can increase or decrease after implant surgery. The range of changes varies from intense sensitivity to no feeling in the nipple or breast following surgery. Changes in feeling can be temporary or permanent and may affect sexual response or the ability to nurse a baby.

Yes it is, with a bit of work and some preparation before hand. Two boobs, two babies, it works quite well. Everything that goes for breastfeeding one in general will go for breastfeeding two. Feed on demand, especially in the beginning to build supply. There's not much need to switch breasts during a feeding, but do try to switch positions at the next feeding since one child is bound to be a better sucker than the other.

Yes! Many women who have had a breast reduction have gone on to successfully breastfeed. www.bfar.org is a wonderful resource. Even if you cannot make enough milk to nurse exclusively, any breastmilk is beneficial to your child. Talk with a lactation consultant, and your local la leche league.

Yes. Breastmilk from mothers with silicone implants actually has less silicone in it than formula and cow's milk. However, bear in mind that breast surgery can sometimes affect the anatomy of the breast, so your baby should be followed closely at first to make sure your are physically able to make enough milk.

The answer is yes and no. The rumor that you will damage your mamary glands by piercing your nipple does hold some truth. you will destroy the glands that you pierce through but there are plenty mmore glands in the nipple. Breast milk does not come out of any one specific spot but rather many glands on and around the nipple, so you will still be able to breast feed, You should not breast feed until a nipple piercing is completely healed, and jewelry shuld be removd while feeding.

Yes, but there are several considerations for the mother or prospective mother-to-be before getting a nipple piercing. Nipple piercing does not prevent breast feeding from happening. In fact, many lactating women find that a small amount of milk will also come out of the piercing, which is harmless. However, you will want your nipple piercings to be completely healed by the time you even conceive.

Yes, change in nipple sensation is a risk of breast augmentation surgery. The nipples may become less sensitive; this could be temporary or permanent. There is also a risk of the nipples becoming overly sensitive. Patients with very thin tissue have a higher chance of visible rippling when there is less tissue covering the implant (e.g. in thin patients when the implant is placed in front of the muscle).

Since the nipple secretes milk through a system of hundreds of ducts, which are not blocked by a nipple piercing, a healed piercing should not interfere with breast feeding. A piercing in the process of healing would be problematic, so we advise for a lactating mother to wait until having a nipple piercing. We strongly suggest that the mother remove her jewellery while feeding her baby.

This is a topic which has some arguement because some of the interior structure of the body will be damaged, however, some will open more than others so personal preference is the key. however as always consult your dr. about such decisions.

A:  Some change in nipple sensation after surgery is not unusual.  This change in sensation is related to swelling that the patient experiences following the surgery.  Patients may experience increased sensitivity, decreased sensitivity, or have no change in sensitivity in the nipple area.  After several months most patients return to having normal nipple sensation; however, partial or permanent loss of nipple sensation may occasionally occur.
