How Can I Breastfeed and Still Save my Implants?

I had 410 cohesive gel implants put in, then got pregnant unexpectedly 2 months later. I breastfed my daughter for 2 years prior to my surgery, and I had virtually no breast tissue left over. I love having my implants now and I don't want to ruin them! But I also don't want to deny my new baby the benefits of breastmilk. Is there a happy medium where both can be achieved, if so, how?
