Breast implants will not be a problem during your pregnancy; however, breastfeeding will create some challenges. Breastfeeding with breast implants can be very painful and the ability for your baby to nurse can be impaired. Some women work around it, while others opt for formula to avoid breastfeeding.
If you would like to breastfeed and you have implants, you will need to closely monitor your milk output. You may have to supplement with formula.
When your breast implants are done there are two methods. The one cuts around your areola, which is the dark part around your nipple. This results in cut milk ducts and cuts to major nerves.
The other method makes the incision under the breast. If you have not yet had your procedure and you are thinking you may have children in the future, you should consider option number two.
Your breasts may produce adequate milk but because of the implant, the milk can't pass through the ducts that have been damaged and reach the nipple. You milk production can also be affected when the areola or nipple nerves are damaged. The signal that is sent to the brain to release milk can be damaged when the nerves are cut so the message is never received and therefore the milk never flows.
If you have silicone breast implants or you are considering them, you need to know that there are concerns about the silicone leaking into the milk supply. You need to discuss this with your doctor.
You can always supplement your baby with a formula mix to ensure he or she is getting enough nourishment while still enjoying the bonding experience from nursing.
There are always ways to find a solution.
