Can I get breast implants and nurse later on when I have babies?

Question

I'm not stupid people, I just was unaware you can. There isn't much information I can find about it.
I would appreciate some links to websites if you know of any? -Maybe something that explains if it's perfectly fine for the baby, no side effects? Things like that. If this is something I decide to do and speak with my Doctor, I want to make sure I'm getting all the information and experiences/wisdom from other women. I appreciate the help...

Answer 1

The problem is If your breasts have been surgically enlarged with silicone or saline implants, your nipples may be more or less sensitive than normal.

Once you've delivered a baby and your milk has come in, you may have exaggerated breast engorgement with pain, fever, and chills that are more intense than usual.

Note: If your breasts were augmented because of underdeveloped (hypoplastic) breasts, you may have trouble producing enough milk. Use a pump after each nursing session to stimulate production.

It depends if you cna breastfeed or not. It's likely, but it depends on the kind of surgery you had. Incisions made under the fold of the breast or through the armpit shouldn't cause any trouble. The most popular method, making a "smile" incision around the areola, puts you at greater risk for problems.

If the nerves around the areola were not cut or damaged during surgery, you may be able to nurse fully or partially. Nerves are vital to breastfeeding because they trigger the brain to release prolactin and oxytocin, two hormones that affect milk production. Your chances of breastfeeding also improve if your milk duct system is intact.

There's no evidence that silicone from silicone implants leaks into breast milk, but even if it did, it probably wouldn't harm your baby. Silicone is very similar to a substance used to treat babies' stomach gas.

But if you want to breast feed you should let your baby's doctor know.
You won't know the full extent of nerve damage — if any — until you try to nurse.

Let your baby's doctor know about your surgery. She'll need to keep a close eye on your baby's weight gain to make sure he's getting enough to eat.

If you're able to produce only a portion of the breast milk your baby needs, you'll need to supplement with formula.

If you're thinking about getting breast implants but want to nurse your baby, postpone surgery until after you've given birth and breastfed your last child.

Yes, it is safe, but depending on how the implants were done, it is not always possible. If the implants were placed through an incision around the nipple, or if the nipple was transplanted for cosmetic reasons, then milk ducts may have been severed. Most implants today are done through small incisions under the breast or in the underarm area; these should not interfere with your ability to breastfeed. So hun if you want to breastfeed then try it out or you can skip the implants ok?! Well, Good luck!!!

Answer 3

It depends. If your incision was made in the nipple area, don't count on it. Your nipples/breasts will be more sensitive than ever, and the breastfeeding will probably be very uncomfortable for you. If the incision was made in the armpit area, then, it should be fine. However, if you had breast augmentation because your breasts were really underdeveloped (very small), chances are your milk production will not be up to par (regardless of the implants), and breast feeding won't be in your future anyway.
