Question

I had breast filler 20years ago , now my breast have some lump but not pain , I did memogram and doctor said it’s not cancer , may I know is it safe to breast feeding baby ?

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

You probably have silicone injected which was popular in Asia. Silicone leads to granulomas, inflammation, and lumps. Silicone is probably in your breast milk. I recommend you see your doctor about breast feeding before you actually do it. Best wishes. Dr. Aldo

You may want to have your breastmilk tested for silicone particulates or whatever filler was used if you're concerned about your milk safety.

Hello and thank you for your question.  I would ask your OB / GYN, you probably have silicone lumps or granuloma's and it may get into breast milk.
