Can Breastfeeding Ruin My Breast Augmentation Results?

Many women who undergo breast augmentation surgery plan to have children one day or already have a child, but may be considering having more children in the future. It’s commonly known that pregnancy can change the way your body looks pre-baby as you are undergoing a variety of changes to make room for your beautiful baby. For those planning on breastfeeding their baby, can breastfeeding ruin or alter the results of your breast augmentation or breast lift? Let’s chat further with Dr. Lyly, our female plastic surgeon at Vado Plastic Surgery in Orlando, FL.

❌ No, the act of breastfeeding will not alter the results of your breast lift or breast augmentation.

Many studies show that breastfeeding after a breast augmentation or breast lift will not affect your results, so you can breastfeed without worrying you are sacrificing any of your cosmetic procedure results. Hooray!

However... being pregnant itself certainly can affect the appearance of the breasts as you will experience a fluctuation in breast size and volume which can cause ptosis or laxity of skin of the breasts as well as laxity of the internal ligaments of the breasts.

If you get pregnant after having a breast lift or breast augmentation…

As mentioned above, breastfeeding itself will not alter your breast procedure results, but you may experience changes regardless from pregnancy itself. For those who are unhappy or uncomfortable with the appearance of their breasts after pregnancy, we are here for you if you’d like to discuss your options in consultation with one of our plastic surgeons.
