If you want breast implants but are considering breastfeeding in the future, plan ahead. While it is certainly possible to do so, some types of incisions make it very difficult, and the more important it is you, the more important research becomes. Knowing the possibilities before the surgery, such as what you can do to make it probable that you can breastfeed, is important.Many women assume that having breast implants means you can never breastfeed, but it just depends on many factors. The type of incision you go for makes a big difference. For example, with a periareolor type, the milk ducts that are crucial to breastfeeding are often disturbed. However, if the incision is under your armpit, below the breast folds, or in your belly button, you will likely be able to breastfeed without any issues.As long as the nerves near the areola are not cut, you shouldn't have any problems. This is because those nerves tell the brain to release both oxytocin and prolactin, two hormones that greatly affect the production of milk. Since all incisions but the periareolar type leave your milk ducts intact and undisturbed, there should be no change.If you have already had breast implants and did...more

Probably the most commonly asked question involving breast implants surgery is "What size implant is right for me?" The answer is that it depends - on several important factors. Revision surgeries are very common among implant patients, as the breast size they ended up with was not the size they hoped for. Here are some things to consider when you are trying to choose the right volume for you.Height and WeightTraditional beauty call for balance and symmetry. This means choosing a breast implant size that will be most proportional to your hips and waist and overall figure. For those who are shorter, breasts that are too large can have the effect of making them look round all over.Obviously taller women can easily go with bigger sizes as they have the height to make them look proportional. Skinny women, no matter the height, will also be better suited to smaller implants as anything too big will make the figure look unnatural and top-heavy.Breast DiameterOne measurement many plastic surgeons use to help patients determine the right size is the breast diameter (not the chest diameter). It is generally recommended that the implant diameter be slightly smaller than the woman's natural...more
