Breast Feeding After Breast Surgery

Can you breast feed after breast augmentation? 1. Question:  I'd like to receive breast augmentation surgery but I'm worried that I won't be able to breast feed my child after I give birth. Is there a way to receive breast surgery but not damage the mammary glands? I'm also wondering about the surgical method and recovery time.  2. Answer:  Being worried about breast surgery before getting pregnant is absolutely normal. The implants for the surgery are located on the pectorialis major, which is far below the mammary glands. The incision method and location of the implants have no effect on breast feeding.   ** There are 3 incision sites: the armpit, areola, and underneath the breasts. The method of incision should be consulted with the surgeon for the best procedure for each patient. The most common form of incision is through the armpit.  ** There are 2 types of cohesive gel implants: "smooth" which needs massaging and "

Can people put their weight back on after lipo?  The answer is: yes, it is definitely possible.  First, let's take a look at the areas that are available for lipo.  = Arms, thighs, abdomen, waist, back, chest, calves, and face.  Now, what kind of post-operative care is needed so that the treatment is successful?  = Avoid stimulating & greasy food  = Avoid smoking & drinking for at least 2 weeks  = Avoid going to the sauna for at least 4 weeks  = Receive physical therapy for at least 4 weeks  But, even with all the post-operative care and therapy, you can gain more weight than your previous weight if you are not careful.  Basically, the fat cells that are stored in your body are sucked out by a cannula (a thin tube). The fat cells that are removed don't come back into your body. But, if you get lazy and consume more calories than your body needs, then new fat cells may form. These fat cells get "fatter," consequently making

Breast Surgery: What Happens Next?

How to take care of your new set of breasts What are the DO's and DON'Ts after receiving breast augmentation surgery?  1. It is normal to feel stuffy after breast surgery. It means that your breasts are healing nicely so you don't need to worry. DON'T take off the compression band yourself - let the hospital do that for you.  2. You can start eating 6~8 hours after the surgery. Help recover your body by taking in soft food like soup and porridge. Avoid spicy or stimulating food. That is a definite DON'T .  3. Please, please, avoid smoking or drinking for at least 4 weeks . This will cause the scars to heal very slowly, causing various problems for the surgical area. This is also a NO-NO .  4. This may only apply to some people, but if you enjoy going to the sauna every now and then, you must first get your thread removed before going into the steam room. This is usually 1 month after the surgery.  5. DON'T lift your arms high
