I am just curious I have had breast implants for 4 years and they are in front of my chest wall muscle. Is it safe and even possible for me to breast feed? I just found out I am pregnant so havent had a chance to ask a doctor yet...I would like to breast feed but I dont even know if this is possible for me?

A lot of mothers who have implants are perfectly capable of breastfeeding. Your milk production will depend on if you had any milk ducts that were cut during your procedure or not. Your best bet would be to ask your doctor about your procedure and ask to speak with a lactation consultant.
Good Luck and Congratulations on your pregnancy.

It is possible for you to breast feed. If your implants were put in properly and there is no scar tissue blocking your milk ducts you should have no problem.

Yes, you can still breastfeed with breast implants. Talk to your doctor to obtain his opinion though.

That is something you need to discuss with a doctor
