Effect of breast augmentation surgery on lactation function

Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, mainly through implant prosthesis to improve the shape and size of the breast. However, when considering breast augmentation surgery, many women will worry about whether the breast function will be affected after the surgery. This article will elaborate on this issue from many aspects.

Operation mode

First of all, the operation mode of breast augmentation surgery is an important factor affecting the lactation function. At present, there are two common methods of breast augmentation surgery: incision under the breast and incision between the breast below and the areola. Research shows that the incision between the lower part of the breast and the areola may affect the lactation function to some extent, because the operation involves the tissues around the areola. The incision under the breast has less influence on the tissues around the areola and on the lactation function.

In addition, the implants used in the operation will also affect the lactation function. The traditional implant is saline bag, but now there are safer biomaterial implants to choose from. These biomaterial implants are closer to the texture and touch of real breasts. Compared with saline bags, they have less pressure on breast tissue and less impact on lactation function.

Preoperative examination and guidance

Before choosing breast augmentation surgery, the hospital will generally conduct detailed preoperative inspection and guidance to ensure the safety and success of the surgery. These examinations will include breast related examinations, such as breast ultrasound, breast X-ray, etc., to exclude the risk of breast cancer and other diseases. At the same time, doctors will also provide appropriate preoperative guidance according to the specific conditions and needs of patients, including selection of surgical methods, implants, etc. Preoperative examination and guidance can minimize the impact on breast tissue and lactation function.

Post operative care and rehabilitation

Nursing care and rehabilitation after breast augmentation surgery are also very important for lactation function. After surgery, the hospital will provide relevant nursing guidance, including wound treatment, drug use and diet adjustment. In addition, proper physical exercise and massage can also help alleviate the discomfort caused by surgery and promote breast rehabilitation. If the patient has lactation problems, the hospital will also provide professional rehabilitation guidance and treatment.

Results and summary

In general, although breast augmentation surgery may have an impact on lactation function, it can be minimized by conducting it in a regular hospital and passing professional preoperative inspection, guidance, operation and postoperative care. According to medical research and extensive clinical experience, most patients can still breast feed normally after breast augmentation surgery. However, individual differences exist, which may have a greater impact on lactation function in some special circumstances. Therefore, when considering breast augmentation surgery, patients should fully understand the relevant medical knowledge, and carry out detailed communication and discussion with doctors to make appropriate decisions.
