Breast implant surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance breast size, shape, and symmetry by using implants. Breast implants are primarily used for aesthetic breast enhancement, and are ideal for women who want a drastic change in their breasts or those who want to restore volume after weight loss or pregnancy. A qualified plastic surgeon performs the breast augmentation with implants and can customize it to match each patient’s desired look and lifestyle. 

Types of Breast Surgery Implants

There are two most common types of breast augmentation implants, including:

• Silicon Implant

These types of implants, filled with silicon gel, feel more natural and closely mimic real breast tissue, making them a popular choice for breast enlargement.

• Saline Implant

Saline implants, filled with sterile saltwater, are inserted empty into the breast and then filled. They require a smaller incision and easier adjustments in size. 

Breast Implant Surgery on Milk Production | Affects 

Breast implant surgery doesn’t necessarily prevent breastfeeding, but sometimes it influences a mother’s ability to breastfeed. The breast’s ability to produce and release milk largely depends on the surgical technique, implant placement, and the health of milk ducts and nerves. If the ducts or sensitive nerves around the areola get damaged, the milk supply can be reduced or delayed. However, women with implants can still breastfeed. If you experience lower milk supply, there are certain supplements with formula you can use with your provider’s guidance.

• Submuscular 

Implant placement under the muscles or through the armpits is less likely to affect milk production, as it does not directly interfere with glandular tissue or ducts. 

• Subglandular 

Implant placement above the muscles or directly in the breast tissue may put pressure on breast tissue and ducts, potentially reducing milk production or flow. 

• Infarmammary 

Incision creation under the breast fold has the least impact on milk ducts and nerves, which may not affect the milk flow.

• Periareolar 

Incision creation around the nipples may have a higher risk of disrupting milk ducts and nerves critical for milk let-down, which can affect milk supply.
