Abstract
Breast surgery increases the risk for difficulties with milk production and breastfeeding. Research on lactation outcomes of breast augmentation with implants is reassuring, but reveals a significant risk of low milk production that varies with the type of surgery and position of the implants. Understanding the potential effects of breast implants on breastfeeding can help lactation professionals optimize outcomes for families with a history of augmentation mammaplasty.
