Can I breast feed with a ruptured silicone implant?

September 29, 2016
Asked By:Biancaba in Pasadena, CA

My left breast implant has ruptured and I am breastfeeding my 3 months-old baby. Is it safe to keep breastfeeding and for how long can I do it? I'm afraid it's dangerous to keep the ruptured implant for several more months in my body. When replacing the ruptured implant, should I wait 3-6 months after stopping breastfeeding or can I have surgery right away?
