Laser frenotomy is not without risk, & we present a published case demonstrating possible complications of the procedure. Injecting materials is a risky alternative to FDA approved breast implant placement for augmentation. We review a case that had disastrous complications during lactation. Lastly, we discuss the Choosing Wisely Campaign that helps patients choose medical interventions & procedures that are supported by evidence. We discuss examples of lactation-related practices that may introduce harm & need more evidence.

Recorded in March 2021.
