When many women begin researching breast augmentation, breast feeding questions always arise.
It is understandable since nurturing offspring is the primary function of the breasts and affecting their ability to do that is not something any woman wants to do.
The good news is that breast feeding issues from breast enhancement procedures are rare.
However, there are potential problems that you should be aware of.
After breast augmentation, breast feeding can be made difficult if there is a lack of milk production caused by the disturbance of the milk ducts.
With the medical advancements, most of today's procedures place the implants behind the muscle walls which does not disturb the milk ducts.
Also, some procedures go through the naval instead of the breast itself which also cuts down on damage to the milk ducts.
This is mostly not a problem anymore.
When researching a physician or clinic they should be very detailed in their description of the entire process.
Make sure you understand the risks involved with the milk ducts if you see having children in your future.
Another problem that can arise is if you choose to have the nipples moved during the procedure.
This can also sever the ducts, leaving milk production impossible.
Many times the ducts are able to repair themselves but not always.
Keep this in mind when mapping out your surgery.
Lastly, no matter what type of procedure you go with, pressure caused by the insertion of the implants can affect breast milk production.
This is very rare but can occur.
When deciding on whether or not to get breast augmentation, breast feeding should not be a reason why you shouldn't.
Your procedure can be fit to all but eliminate the chances for complications.
