Should I stop breast feeding if my silicone implant has ruptured?
January 18, 2023
Asked By:kieshalee in Perth, Western Australia, Australia
I think my left implant(silicone) has ruprured as it is very uneven, sagging and painful. I noticed today that i am losing colour in my areola and it is also totally numb. I am currently breastfeeding so this makes me very worried. Should i stop breastfeeding?? Is it harmful to my baby if ruptured? What does the numbness and discolouration mean? Is it something i should be worried about? Please help!!

Showing your before photo would be very helpful. However, I think this size is a bit large for your base and is pushing inward as it pushes your breast outward. Also, you have a little bottoming out on one size from the weight.
