Can I Breast Feed with a Ruptured Saline Implant?

March 13, 2012
Asked By:bjacquez1

I have had a ruptured saline breast implant for 14 months now. I could not get it removed because I was breast feeding at the time. I waited 3 months for my milk to dry and right before surgery I found out I was pregnant and could not proceed with the surgery. Now baby is due any day, can I breast feed even with the ruptured implant?
