Can I Breastfeed After a Breast Lift?

Will a breast lift affect my ability to breastfeed in the future? I’m planning another pregnancy, so I’m concerned about potential changes?

A breast lift can sometimes affect the ability to breastfeed, depending on the technique used and how much tissue is repositioned. In many cases, the milk ducts and nipples remain connected, so breastfeeding is still possible, but it’s not guaranteed.
If you’re planning another pregnancy, it’s often advised to wait until after childbirth and breastfeeding before having the surgery, since hormonal and physical changes during pregnancy can stretch the skin and alter the results.
It’s best to discuss your future pregnancy plans with your surgeon before proceeding.
