Can I breastfeed after receiving hyaluronic acid injections?
Disease description:
I am currently on maternity leave and have been breastfeeding my child. Recently, I am considering getting a hyaluronic acid nose augmentation, but I am worried that this might affect my breast milk. I would like to ask, after receiving hyaluronic acid injections, can I still breastfeed? Are there any precautions I should take?

After receiving hyaluronic acid injections, it is generally recommended to proceed with caution regarding immediate breastfeeding. Although hyaluronic acid is a commonly used cosmetic filler and is generally considered safe within the body, it may contain small amounts of additives or preservatives. To ensure the safety of the infant, physicians typically advise waiting for a period of time after any cosmetic treatment to ensure that any potentially harmful substances have been metabolized or excreted from the body.
Specifically for breastfeeding women, it is advisable to wait at least 24 hours after hyaluronic acid injections to minimize the possibility of any微量 substances entering breast milk. The safest approach is to consult with a plastic surgeon or obstetrician who can provide more specific recommendations based on the type of hyaluronic acid used and the individual's circumstances. Until safety is assured, temporarily using stored breast milk to feed the baby is recommended.
