Can I Breastfeed After Mastopexy?

A Breast Lift Usually Has No Impact on Breastfeeding
Most breast lift surgery patients are able to breastfeed without any issues. Plastic surgeons generally find that patients who can breastfeed before breast lift surgery will likely be able to breastfeed after surgery.

Will breastfeeding ruin my breast lift?

While nursing, the baby cannot bite or otherwise harm implants. Although breastfeeding won't change your implants, unfortunately the same is not always true for natural breast tissue and skin. The natural breast tissue enlarges during pregnancy as the breasts engorge with milk. This stretches the skin of the breasts.

Can you still breastfeed after uplift?

Breastfeeding is usually possible after a breast lift (Mastopexy), as patient's nipples are not separated from the underlying breast tissue. However, some women might have difficulty producing enough milk and therefore struggle to breastfeed.
