This depends a lot on how
the surgery is done, and whether you have it done by someone who is
experienced in breast surgery with the goal of preserving breastfeeding in
the process. The biggest concern with any kind of breast surgery is that
the nerves and milk ducts around the nipple may be severed. If this
happens, then breastfeeding becomes difficult, if not impossible (although
the nerves have been known to reconnect in a small percentage of
women).
Breast augmentation
surgery, however, doesn't usually involve incisions close to the nipple
or areola (the dark area around the nipple). Talk with your surgeon
about how the incision will be made. Incisions made in the fold below
the breast rarely interfere with breastfeeding. Incisions made in the
armpits--if the surgeon is careful to avoid nerves--are not likely to
interfere.
One other note--breastfeeding naturally augments breasts--at least as
long as you are nursing!
