Breastfeeding after breast surgery

The amount of milk you can produce depends on how the surgery was performed and where the incisions, and the reasons for their surgery. Women who have had incisions in the crease under the breasts are less likely to have problems getting milk from women who have had incisions around or through the areola, which can cut milk ducts and nerves. Women who received breast implants tend to breastfeed their babies. If you have had breast surgery for any reason, talk to a lactation specialist. If you are breast surgery, talk to your surgeon about ways he or she can keep both breast tissue and milk ducts as possible.
