It isn't uncommon for patients to question the right timing for breast augmentation. There used to be quite a bit of question about whether or not a woman could breastfeed after receiving breast implants. Having performed thousands of breast procedures over many years, our surgeons can say that there is little risk of losing the ability to breastfeed following breast augmentation. It's not impossible but it is very unlikely. What you may want to consider is how your breasts will change due to pregnancy and nursing. Regardless of whether you have implants or not, there is a chance that your breast volume will decrease after having children. This is due to hormone changes and the increase in breast size that occurs during and after pregnancy.
