Breast implants and breastfeeding

Common Questions and Answers about Breast implants and breastfeeding

breast

Avatar f tn Actually, if your nipple still has feeling, the chance are high. Breast augmentation (breast implants) isn't a reason alone not to be able to produce breast milk. Most likely, it depends on the kind of surgery you had, but most approaches are compatible with breastfeeding. Incisions made under the fold of the breast or through the armpit shouldn't cause any trouble. A "Smile" incision around the areola increase your risks of breastfeeding complications.
7928796 tn?1396351929 Its really different for everyone... I know one woman who breast fed three babies a year a piece with implants and I know another that breast fed her first, got implants and couldn't breast feed her second or third...
Avatar n tn My implants are over the muscle and was done at the crease under the breast. I have two other children 1 of which I had absolutely no problems nursing,however that was before I got the lift!!! If anyone has experience with this or knows someone I would love to hear what you have to say!!!!! TIA!!!
Avatar f tn Yep you can breastfeed even if you have implants. My sister got silicone implants and went from a size A to a full C and breastfeed just fine... plus her boobs still look perky after two kids while mine now feel the force of gravity and are pointing towards the ground. I'm getting implants when I can.
Avatar f tn Mine got so big I'm worried about how they will be once the milk comes in. I was a 34D and they have went up to a DD if not bigger. I'm 37 weeks now and terrified how much bigger they will get.
Avatar f tn I have breast implants. Mine are saline and my surgeon and obgyn said i could still breast feed.

Avatar f tn I agree with kesh26. They get huge and then when you're done breastfeeding they shrink and sometimes get even smaller than they were before. I went from a B before pregnancy to a D during pregnancy to DD's when my milk came in. I only breastfed for 6 weeks. Afterwards my breasts shrank to an A and were softer and floppier. I got implants five years after my son and now I'm pregnant again so I'm curious to see what happens with implants.
Avatar n tn Sorry I posted before I was done lol I think because its under the muscle we will still be able to breast feed. I'm not sure about the sagging part I would love to know that as well. Because I was a deflated A (I was a large B before my first child) then got implants which made me a C and now I'm a D and only 17 weeks so I'm thinking I'll get to DD's at least!
581359 tn?1454006442 I was wondering the same thing I had a breast reductin a year and a half ago and I think I may be preg now...
Avatar n tn She only breastfed for two weeks. She had one kid, got implants and got pregnant again and then her boobs got smaller sje claims.
Avatar f tn That has nothing to do. I had the same problem when I was pregnant and thought the same thing.
Avatar n tn What is the difference with breastfeeding with implants under the muscle but the incision on the nipple than normal breast feeding?
358455 tn?1277433619 Hi there, i have implants ive had them 5 years now. Im 38 weeks pregnant and so far ive not had any problems, mine are under the muscle and i believe i should not have any trouble feeding. I'll let you know in 2 weeks.
Avatar n tn Not I, but my sis in law. She breast fed her son pumped had no issues. Her milk supply was the same as w/ her 1st child which was b4 she had the implants.
Avatar f tn I've had piercings done n redone and breast implants thru my nipple I pray to God I cud still feed but if not it just means I cud party sooner than expected
6918915 tn?1395932871 I've seen this question before but I don't think anyone ever answered it. I have silicone gel, under the muscle implants. I've been told I can probably still breast feed but my boob haven't started leaking yet and with my first they leaked at 29 weeks (I didn't have implants then.) So now idk if that means anything. But also I want to know about the after effects of pregnancy and breastfeeding. Do they sag and shrink?
Avatar f tn Did anyone's boobs get bigger after breast feeding? I've heard they do! And do they go back to normal after?
Avatar n tn I would not be so alarmed by this normally, but my grandmother passed away from breast cancer and also had cervical cancer. My mother has ovarian cancer and died at age 46. Could this possibly be cancerous? My shoulder blade hurts as well. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/260725'>breast lump while breastfeeding</a>.
Avatar f tn I have full sleeves, chest tattoo and implants! I have high risk pregnancies (been pregnant 7 times and have 3 kids). Im currently 36 weeks pregnant with my 4th and i see a obstetrics specialist....she has never once said my tattoos are a concern for breastfeeding!! Hope that gives you peice of mind!
Avatar n tn Like literally... Before prenancy I was a C cup and after pregnacny and breastfeeding my boobies went to a small B :( I'm 32W with baby #2 I really want to breastfeed him but I don't want my boobs to get smaller lol. Did anyone have the same issue or will they maybe get bigger and back to a C cup like I was before my first pregnancy?
Avatar f tn Breast fed my first for 8months not doing it with my second, plus I have breast implants makes it more complicated. Formula it is !
Avatar f tn I recently had a Breast Augmentation surgery last April and I am currently 22 weeks pregnant with baby number two. I would like to try to breastfeed but not sure how it will go. My implants are sub-muscular and my incision was made in my areola. Has anyone else been in my situation and if so how did breastfeeding go?
Avatar n tn ------------------------------------------------------- Vacuum-assisted biopsy (brand names, Mammotome or MIBB) allows physicians to perform accurate breast biopsies on women with breast implants. Prior to the advent of vacuum-assisted biopsy, women with implants typically had to undergo open surgical biopsy if breast cancer was suspected. Unlike surgical biopsy, vacuum-assisted biopsy is a percutaneous ("through the skin") procedure.
