Subsequent to a breast augmentation surgical procedure, a great deal of women inquire if it's alright to breast feed. The reply to that is yes, they can breastfeed. According to a great number of women who went throughout breast augmentation, breastfeeding is no more difficult with or without implants. Several women even said that breast feeding with implants is easier than without implants.

In this day and age, more and more women who are still single and who have not begun yet their childbearing days are undergoing breast implant surgical procedure. By this occurrence a lot now are nervous to know if breast implants can affect breast feeding. In previous time, nearly all women who undergo breast implant surgical procedure are married and past their childbearing time already so the concern for breast feeding is not given much meaning.

The first silicone sickness hit the media in 1992, thus the alarm of endangering the baby on breast feeding with silicone implants became a mounting apprehension. However studies conducted has shown that this is not the justification. The reason was that, the silicon molecule is too large to pass by in the milk ducts through breast feeding.

A few years after that, silicone was removed and replaced with saline implants. Even if saline can trickle into the milk, it has no hazardous effects to the mother or child as it is an inert matter.

The concern of most people currently are on implant position and incision site. Several consider that it is more optimal to have the implants placed beneath the muscle. It will also avoid the peri-areolar incision. The explanation for this is that with this procedure, there is fewer interference with the milk ducts which reside directly beneath the skin and in the tissue on top of the breast muscle. Still, this is yet not guaranteed. There are a lot of women who undergo implants on sub-optimal locations and still are successful in breast feeding.

To gain the best potential outcome, it is best to talk about your plans with your doctor through consultation. With this, your doctor can help you and work with you based on your plans. Even if you are not planning to have kids yet anytime soon, consulting this with your doctor is very imperative.
