Though breast augmentation remains the most common cosmetic procedure performed on patients, statistics have shown that breast lift surgeries have grown in popularity by 70% over the past decade and a half.

Many women worry that after breast surgery they won’t be able to breastfeed, but often this isn’t the case. There are several factors that will determine whether or not you’ll be able to produce enough milk to nurse a baby - some women who’ve had breast surgery will need to supplement their baby’s diet with formula, while others will go on to produce enough milk to successfully breastfeed problem-free.

Women who enquire about breast implant surgery often worry that after their procedure they won’t be able to participate in the same exercises as before. It’s true that you’ll need to take at least two weeks off from rigorous activity post-op to let your body heal, but even during the recovery period it will be possible to do some light, low-impact exercises.

Don’t assume a surgeon is qualified – check their credentials! Plastic surgery is regulated by organisations like the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
