Visitor Question:
I got breast implants after having my other kids. Now I am pregnant again. Will I be able to breastfeed?
Breastfeeding Magazine Response
There are two major issues to consider regarding breast implants and breastfeeding: whether the breast will be able to produce enough breast milk and if nursing with implants is safe for your little one.
Newer implants are generally safe for your baby and, for the most part, women have found that they can breastfeed successfully breastfeed after implants without a problem.

Good luck!
