Breast Implants and Breast
Feeding
 A lot of women ask if they can breast feed after
Breast Augmentation Surgery.
The answer is a resounding yes. For the vast
majority of women who have a BA breastfeeding is
no more difficult with implants than without. In
fact, some women who have breast fed with and
without implants say that breastfeeding with
implants is easier!
Breastfeeding is a growing concern with patients
who have had Breast Augmentation surgery. In
previous years, women who received implants were
married and had already finished with
childbearing. However, more and more single
women, and women who have not finished or even
begun childbearing are having the surgery.
In 1992 the first report of a Silicone Illness
hit the media. At that time there was fear that
breastfeeding with silicone implants would
endanger the child. There has been studies
performed to show this not to be the case. The
main reason being that the silicone molecule is
too large to pass into the milk ducts.
Later, Silicone was removed from general use,
and Saline implants
were the only available devices on the market.
Even if the saline did leach into the milk, it
is an inert substance, with no harmful effects
on mother or baby.
Some concerns are placed on implant placement,
and incision site. It is said to be more optimal
to have the implants placed under the muscle,
and to avoid the peri-aerolar incision. The
reasons are simple, using those guidelines,
there is less interference with the milk ducts
which reside directly under the skin and in the
tissue above the muscle of the breast. However,
as with everything in science, this is not
guaranteed. There are many women who have had
placement of implant and incision in sub-optimal
locations, and are still very successful with
breastfeeding.
It is very important to discuss your plans of
breastfeeding your baby at the time of your
consultation. Your surgeon will be able to work
with you, to get the best possible results, even
if you are not planning on having children
anytime in the near future.
Breastfeeding is still the preferred method of
feeding a baby by the American Academy of
Pediatrics.
