Around 5 years ago, I foolishly got a silicone injection into my breasts (not an implant). I had a scan and the specialist said that there were some tumors but they were dormant and nothing to be worried about. I am now 7 mths pregnant and I am worried that the silicone could possibly be transferred into my breast milk and effect my newborn baby. Could you please give me some advice if this is a possibility and if so how likely? What should I do?
