Extremely small chested, Can you breastfeed after breast augmentation? - Cosmetic / Plastic Surgery Message Board

Hello everyone. Im 25/married with no kids and am planning on having at least 3 later on. Im starting to think about breast implants because as I get older, my confidence and self esteem gows down. Its not my husbands fault, its me. I mean I am really small, a 32A size bra only really "fits" when I get swollen during when aunt flow visits. I dont know if theres anything worse than being a SMALL A, which I also recently noticed that one is actually smaller than the other one, and devistated me even more. I dont even like to look at myself in the mirror. I would be happy with even a full A, just anything to at least make me look like a woman a not an adolescent. I used to be too skinny, thought that was the reason I had no boobs, gained weight, boobs stayed the same size, so now I just have a bigger but and still no boobs. I would know for sure because my bra that I had for a few years fits exactly the same no matter which weight I was, at a difference of 15 ibs (by the way is that enough weight to notice a difference?). So Im finally thinking that my only option is implants. I dont even want big ones, maybe even a full B!

So I have two questions:

Will I be able to breastfeed when I do have kids? Is there any possibility that something could go wrong with that.

And since I barely have ANY breast tissue, are they going to look horribly unnatural, even if I get the smallest size? I want as natural as can be.

Any help and advice would be greatly appretiated. Thank you.

I have breast implants and was able to breastfeed. I think the majority of women who have implants are able to breastfeed, some aren't though I'm sure.

As far as looking natural I'm sure it would look most natural if you didn't go too big depending on your weight and height. Also I had mine put in under the muscle and IMO it makes them look more natural than some that are put over the muscle.

Good luck!

Try stuffing your bra with different size things and seeing how you look with a T shirt or regular shirt you'd wear any day on. I used to do this with a friend for fun, but it really was amazing how natural the different sizes looked. They just made me look like a different person. I have 32 double A size breasts and even with grapefruits in my bra, it looked natural. I just looked like I was kind of fat.

I know a couple of people who breastfed with implants. They do say if you have the incision around the areola sometimes the nerves can get severed and you might not be able. I think that's one of those warnings they "have" to give you, but is really rare. The only issue I can see would be if your breasts get really large while you're pregnant. I am a very small B, but was a full D when I was pregnant/nursing.

I'm planning to get implants in June, and while I really wanted them when I was in college - I'm kinda glad I waited until after I had the kids. I know one person who had them before babies, then got huge while she was pregnant and had big problems with sagging. After she finished having kids she had to go in and have a breast lift to put her breasts back over the implants.

Good luck with you decision.
