Breast Feeding : Yes, breast feeding is possible after breast surgery. With any type of breast surgery, there is a potential risk of not being able to breast feed afterwards. Talk to your surgeon and see what can be done to reduce the risks.

Most can: Breast implants can reduce your chances of being able to breastfeed by about 15-20%. Studies have been done that have shown no silicone being passed into the breast milk in women with silicone gel implants. Mastopexy does carry a higher rate of inability to breastfeed than augmentation.
