Can I Breast Feed with a Ruptured Saline Implant?

You can breast feed with confidence. Your body has safely absorbed and disposed of the ruptured saline in the implant. You'll want to be in touch with your plastic surgeon after the baby arrives and breast feeding is completed regarding an implant exchange. It sounds like you have a growing family. All the best to you. 

Congratulations on your pregnancy!Yes, it is safe to breastfeed with a ruptured saline implant. However, once you've stopped breastfeeding, please have it removed/replaced.

There is no problem breast feeding with a ruptured saline implant to you or your baby. The saline is absorbed as it is just salt water. Speak with your Plastic Surgeon re: best timing for removal when you are all finished with breast feeding

Hi!

Thank you for your question.

You should not have any worries when it comes to breast feeding with

the ruptured implant especially if it was placed under the muscle.. The saline solution has been safely absorbed into your body and will not be harmful to you or the baby. I would recommend you exchange them as soon as you can as the pocket is shrinking around the collapsed implant.

You should not have any problem because of the rupture. That should have no effect at all on your ability to breast feed!

More than likely breast feeding with a rupture saline implant should not be a problem but the implant should  be removed when able.  Speak to your surgeon.

When the saline implant leaks the water is absorbed harmlessly into your system leaving the silicone rubber shell. The shell can be left in place and you can indeed breast feed without any harm or risk.
