can fake breasts still produce breast milk?

Answer 1

It's likely, but it depends on the kind of surgery you had. Incisions made under the fold of the breast or through the armpit shouldn't cause any trouble. The most popular method, making a "smile" incision around the areola, puts you at greater risk for problems.

If the nerves around the areola were not cut or damaged during surgery, you may be able to nurse fully or partially. Nerves are vital to breastfeeding because they trigger the brain to release prolactin and oxytocin, two hormones that affect milk production. Your chances of breastfeeding also improve if your milk duct system is intact.

There's no evidence that silicone from silicone implants leaks into breast milk, but even if it did, it probably wouldn't harm your baby. Silicone is very similar to a substance used to treat babies' stomach gas.

You won't know the full extent of nerve damage — if any — until you try to nurse.

Let your baby's doctor know about your surgery. She'll need to keep a close eye on your baby's weight gain to make sure he's getting enough to eat.

If you're able to produce only a portion of the breast milk your baby needs, you'll need to supplement with formula.

If you're thinking about getting breast implants but want to nurse your baby, postpone surgery until after you've given birth and breastfed your last child.


If your breasts were augmented because of underdeveloped (hypoplastic) breasts, you may have trouble producing enough milk. Use a pump after each nursing session to stimulate production.

Answer 2

Breast implants are placed below the muscle or below the gland. Neither should interfere with lactation, unless the surgeon cut the ducts when placing the implant.

Every plastic surgeon I know has all patients sign a lengthy consent form, which would list things like that.

If you are inquiring about future surgery, discuss that with your surgeon.

Many women with implants are able to nurse, especially if they are placed with the incision below the breast.

Answer 3

Many women who have breast implants cannot successfully breast-feed. It's unclear whether the inability is due to nerve damage or something else.

Answer 4

Absolutely not...Your breast augmentation will prevent you from breast feeding. Your surgeon should have discussed this prior to surgery.

Answer 5

No, during surgery your milk ducts will be cut, pretty much destroying them!

Answer 6

Yes, if they are put in without cutting some of your ducts

Answer 7

Only fake milk....

Answer 8

yes ><
milk supply problems.

Answer 9

I don't know but that's a good question

Answer 10

No.
