| Pregnancy and Breast Feeding |  The occurrence of breast implants will have no effect on your ability to become pregnant, deliver a baby, or even breastfeed. Breast implants have not been reported to have an effect on children or future offspring.
As you probably know, breast milk is the best food for babies. Lots of women with breast implants have safely breast fed their babies. It is not known if there are amplified risks in nursing for a woman with breast implants. A study examining elemental silicon (an element of silicone) in human breast milk did not point out higher levels from women with silicone-filled gel implants in comparison with women without implants.
Cow’s milk comprises higher levels of elemental silicon in comparison with human milk. Implant placement methods that engage incisions through the nipple and areola locations may decrease the ability to safely breast feed.
If a woman has undergone a mastectomy, it is improbable that she would be able to breast feed a baby on the side where the breast was detached. It is vital to talk about the options of breast implant surgery with your surgeon and be sure to point out any interest in becoming pregnant and breast feeding in the future life.
