Will Breast Augmentation Stop Me From Lactating?
No. Expectant mothers who’ve had breast augmentation surgery will be able to lactate. Your breasts start producing milk when chemical signals in your brain tell it to release the hormones oxytocin and prolactin. The levels of these hormones increase during pregnancy and when your baby suckles. This naturally-occurring phenomenon will not go away because you’ve gotten breast implants.
Will Breast Augmentation Limit My Milk Supply?
Possibly. Some new mothers who’ve had breast augmentation surgery have mentioned slow production or limited milk supply. If you do not already have breast implants before becoming pregnant, I suggest waiting until you are no longer breast-feeding before you undergo breast augmentation. Your breasts will change as you stop breast-feeding, and the choices you make regarding sizes of the implants may change as a result.
Can Enlarged Breasts Make Latching Difficult?
No. If you have breast implants and a knowledgeable plastic surgeon performed your breast augmentation, then your breast-to-nipple ratio should be conducive to latching.
