Can I breastfeed with implants?

Yes! The majority of women can nurse with breast implants. But, for those wanting to be as careful as possible, surgeons can avoid moving tissues involved in milk production.

Is breastfeeding with implants safe?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found no evidence that materials from an implant (such as silicone) can enter a mother’s milk supply. Depending on where they’re placed, breast implants can theoretically impede the amount of breast milk produced. However, this can typically be avoided by using “breastfeeding safe” techniques during your breast implant surgery.

Will breastfeeding ruin my implants?

No! There are multiple ways that surgeons can ensure breast implants stay intact and protect a patient’s ability to breastfeed after a breast augmentation. Incision location and implant placement are two of the most important factors.
