Yes: Implants are placed beneath the breast gland, so depending on the type of incision used, milk production should not be affected.

Theoretically yes: Breast augmentation should not interfere with nursing, as the implants are deep to the breast tissue.

Likely but issues: It is quite probablemthatbifmyounwere capable of nursing prior to breast augmentation, you should be able to do so afterwards but there may be some concerns that relate to sagging as well as the potential for biofilm formation that will result in an increased risk of capsular contracture, please see the youtube video: http://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=fybsihrevec&sns=em.

Maybe: You would probably be able to do so, but might be pushing it a bit. It would also be likely that with more than a little breastfeeding duty after surgery, your breasts might change to the point where you might want additional surgery afterward.

Usually yes: Breast implants can reduce your chances of being able to breastfeed by about 15-20%. Pregnancy and breast feeding can affect the appearance of your breasts with implants just as they can be affected if you did not have implants.
