According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), breast augmentation has become the #1 cosmetic procedure for the last decade.Since the best age for breast augmentation is anywhere from 18 to 50 years old, a woman’s desire to look younger may overlap with the tick of her biological clock.
One of the most popular questions women ask before having surgery is, “Will I be able to breastfeed?”
The answer is, yes. Breastfeeding after breast augmentation is absolutely possible.
Although the prior condition of the breasts, position of the implant and incision could have a direct bearing on milk production, it is very likely that you will have a positive experience when nursing your child.
