Can implants (right has contracture) be removed while lactating?

sportsmama101
Hello, My right breast currently has a contracture. It is causing really bad pain. I am currently pregnant and wish to breastfeed, if at all possible. Is there any surgeon who will remove the implants while I am still lactating? My hope is to remove both so that I can breastfeed and alleviate the pain in the right breast.
