If you have asked – Will I be able to breast feed after breast augmentation? The answer is, yes. Problems with breast feeding after breast augmentation are extremely rare when you choose an experienced and skilled surgeon.

No, it is a common misconception that you need to replace your breast implants every ten years. Breast implants do not expire, and there is no need to change out your implants after a certain amount of time.

Less than 10% of breast implants may need to be changed in 10 years.
