What you need to know
Most women can breastfeed successfully after breast surgery — whether it’s breast reduction or augmentation (implants) or other surgery affecting the breast. However, because breast surgery can affect the structure of the breast, the function of the milk-making tissue and ducts, and nipple sensitivity, it’s important to have a full assessment (and preferably before your baby arrives).
Why it’s a problem
If you’ve had breast surgery, you may feel uncertain or anxious about whether breastfeeding is possible. You might struggle with mixed advice while pregnant on how to prepare for this. If you haven't been able to access breastfeeding preparation support ante-natally then you may be unsure how to tell if feeding is going well.
