Breast Feeding with Implants

Most people are successful at breast-feeding after implants, but not all.

First of all, some women that never had surgery can’t breast feed. While the implant, in most cases is separated from the breast by a layer of muscle, there will be some trauma to the tissue in the placement process.  This may  decrease the likelihood of successful breast feeding.  In my expreience though, most women can breast feed after implants.

To look into this further, the FDA and La Leche would be good places to start. As with any product, there are those who profess to be experts and espouse less than scientific data. I dare say, you can't pick any topic of discussion today and find some "expert" who has a dissenting opinion and a litany of reasons to "prove" their point.

Should those with artificial silicone joints, silicone wrist bone replacements, vascular shunts (silicone tubes), hair spray and WD-40 users (we breathe in that silicone), silicone based makeup users and people who have chin implants, cheek implants or silicone sheeting for TMJ (Jaw)  and orbital (eye socket) problems  be discouraged from breast feeding?

They all have silicone in their bodies too!

Many experts believe that silicone has no effect on breast-feeding. It has been my experience that most women with implants in my practice that are interested in breast feeding, do so successfully.
