Breast augmentation surgery after breastfeeding?

Question

My breast surgery is scheduled next week. I breastfed my baby for 2.5 years and quit just 2 month ago. My Doc told me that its recomended to wait for 6 mos to do the surgery , cus there is possibility i have milk left over & there is a risk of infection He checked me and said that i am ok to do the surgery, I already did all the tests and preparation. Yesterday i checked my brests better and after pressing & squeezing them VERY HARD there was a few drops in both breasts, I called doc's office, they said as long as its not "squirting" I should be fine. Also they'll put me on antibiotics starting the day before surgery, that should help to avoid infection. My Q is Am I @ the big risk for infection or complication? I will have a lift & fulfill my volume, I got soft hangin' skin left after the long brestfeeding, I mean u can roll the brests up - i need to fix them for sure & get proportional, I am 25y.o, 5'5 and 110 Lb in good shape, barbells & gym r not helpin from that extra sagging skin

Answer 1

Breast augmentation is serious surgery with many risks. If you stopped 2 months ago, you're body is still in the middle of the many adjustments associated with breastfeeding. My wife's breast shrank a whole cup size after breastfeeding and we have talked about the possibility of breast augmentation after we're completely done having children. But no doubt we/she would wait at least a year. I think it is way too soon for you and the fact the doctor is saying "should be alright" is not very reassuring.

You certainly sound like you possess a lovely body. Understand your breasts are also lovely just the way they are. I would advise against surgery. Vanity usually leads to misery for its thirst for perfection never ends. I wonder if you are married and what does your husband think? If he does not cherish you the way you are, then that is most unfortunate for a woman's body undergoes changes in life that are as natural as the tides of the ocean and should be lovingly embraced. A surgical knife will simply complicate and perhaps destroy that which is naturally beautiful. Spare your tender body any pain or discomfort that may become a permament problem. It will never be worth it. Instead wake up everyday and be thankful that you are healthy and strong and that you truly do not have any health problems for there are so many in this world that can't say the same. May you find peace in your decision.

Answer 3

I would just take the advice of your doctor. It doesn't sound like a major problem as you said there were only a few drops of milk. I don't think the risk of infection regarding this issues should be your main concern. There is always a possible risk of infection with such a procedure, so just make sure you take the antibiotics as prescribed and keep the area as clean as possible. Good luck with your upcoming surgery and take care : )
