Some modern girls, in pursuit of beauty and changing their appearance, resort to more radical methods of solving this issue, and among the most common plastic surgeries is mammoplasty (silicone breasts). Speaking without medical terms, this is the correction of the mammary glands using surgery. Most often, women enlarge their breasts rather than reduce them.
When considering this issue, from an aesthetic and physiological point of view, such operations no longer cause any surprise. However, there are questions about the admissibility of using this method during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. So, let's take a closer look at this topic and find out what the breasts look like before and after surgery and whether pregnancy is possible with implants inside the mammary glands.
What silicone breasts look like after surgery
For women who want to acquire beautiful breasts, the market has long offered an alternative method of solving this problem - a silicone implant. This product is environmentally friendly and does not pose any harm to health. Therefore, every year there are more and more girls undergoing mammoplasty.
What prompts the female sex to resort to such radical methods? Some people are not satisfied with the shape of their breasts, others do not like their size. Some girls lose their former beauty of the mammary glands after rapid weight loss, pregnancy and lactation, while others have pronounced breast asymmetry. It is with these problems that women come to see a plastic surgeon, hoping to get answers to their problem.
After clarifying some data and conducting diagnostics, the doctor sets a date for the operation and performs surgery with the introduction of a silicone implant, based on the individual characteristics of the patient’s body. So, mammoplasty has been performed, what does the happy owner’s breasts look like now?
First of all, it is aesthetic appeal. A woman achieves the desired size and shape, can wear an open neckline and catches the admiring glances of men. Her breasts are elastic and, with high-quality surgery, are practically no different from the real ones. However, silicone breasts also have their disadvantages, but more on that below.
In this case, it is worth noting the contraindications in which breast augmentation surgery is unacceptable:
- presence of allergic reactions to implant fillers;
- diseases of the mammary glands;
- general weakened state of the body;
- the presence of malignant neoplasms.
Is it possible to wear implants during pregnancy?
Typically, girls who undergo plastic surgery for breast augmentation do not plan to become pregnant afterward. However, there are some unforeseen circumstances and the question arises: is it acceptable to wear endoprostheses during pregnancy?
New generation silicone implants do not have a negative impact on the development of nascent life.
This conclusion was reached by numerous studies and practical activities. However, at this point there are certain nuances.
After the operation and subsequent conception of a child, certain physiological factors that arise in the body due to changes in hormonal levels and preparation for the lactation period are forgotten. During the 9 months of pregnancy, the breasts increase in size, thereby introducing their own adjustments. Due to the growing glandular tissue, the load on the implants increases, and after its reduction, ptosis may occur - drooping of the mammary glands. In this case, from the “apple” shape it goes into the “pear” category. However, this matter can be corrected, again with the help of plastic surgery, but whether it is worth it is up to you to decide.
- find a specialized obstetrician-gynecologist who knows all the features of pregnancy with endoprostheses inside;
- You definitely need to monitor your weight and prevent it from increasing (this does not mean dieting, but only proper balanced nutrition);
- wear a special bra designed to maintain shape;
- If a cosmetic defect develops, consult a doctor for advice.
Does mammoplasty affect the baby's feeding?
If we consider the possibility of feeding a child after breast augmentation surgery performed in the past, then medical practice does not deny this possibility. Many studies have been conducted, the results of which showed that silicone molecules are present in the breast milk of women with endoprostheses.
If we consider this opinion from the other side, we can find out that some silicone is also contained in artificial mixtures, and the risk of implant rupture is minimized and is only 1.5 percent of the probability.
But what will happen if the endoprosthesis ruptures during breastfeeding? In this case, it is unlikely that the silicone will spread into the milk-producing cells. This is due to the fact that the implant filler contains a high molecular weight, which does not allow it to dissolve in water.
And again, what will happen if silicone nevertheless leaks into the alveoli and mixes with breast milk? Will this be harmful to the child? The answer is simple, silicone implants for plastic surgery contain the same formula as, for example, imported drops used to treat colic in a baby. 
However, the possibility of breastfeeding after breast augmentation surgery may have its limitations. They depend on how the incision was made and at what anatomical point the implant was inserted. If it is located above or below the pectoral muscle, it significantly reduces the amount of milk produced. The safest access site is considered to be the area below the breast.
Disadvantages of mammoplasty
If we talk about possible disadvantages and consequences after surgery, we can highlight several points that are quite possible to arise after surgery:
- unnatural breast shape in relation to body proportions;
- due to the installation of dense implants, the breasts become too elastic;
- if the operation is performed poorly, the nipples may be asymmetrical;
- sometimes stretch marks occur;
- postoperative complications develop.
In addition, it is worth considering the fact that pressure drops in the first month after surgery are not recommended. Therefore, if a woman who has undergone mammoplasty is going to fly immediately by plane, it is best to abandon this idea. Once your breasts have healed, you can continue to be active and do your daily activities.
It is also worth remembering that any surgical intervention carried out carries its own risks, especially when it comes to pregnancy or breastfeeding.
At this time, it is best to contact a qualified specialist who can suggest individual breast care, this also applies to the lactation period. The doctor will determine whether enough breast milk is being produced, suggest the necessary position for feeding the baby, and teach you how to express the mammary glands correctly, since such actions with silicone breasts have their own peculiarities. 
In general, girls who are thinking about pregnancy in the near future should think about whether these actions will be justified. Maybe it’s worth holding off on this idea and giving the baby a chance at full breastfeeding, without any possible problems. It is also worth understanding that not all men like silicone breasts on girls. Their opinion is based on decorative flowers - yes, it’s beautiful and delightful, but what’s the point if it’s not natural. Be that as it may, the decision to undergo mammoplasty is up to you; if you really need and want it, then you can safely make an appointment with a plastic surgeon.

Classmates
Determination of breast size is carried out according to clearly established parameters and rules. It is important for any woman to know what size of mammary glands nature has awarded her and what advantages her breasts hide behind. Usually, many inexperienced girls determine their data “by eye,” which entails an erroneous choice of underwear and complete disappointment. And only if you have knowledge about this, you can eliminate any troubles and embarrassing situations.
Speaking about girls who naturally have a second breast size, I would like to say that such bust parameters are considered standard; according to statistics, the majority of the female population of the planet has this size.
But, despite these data, many of them are dissatisfied with their volume in the décolleté area and strive in every possible way to increase their bust. To understand how justified such worries and discontent are, it is worth understanding in more detail the advantages and disadvantages of breast size 2.
Initially, to make sure that a woman really has a naturally second bust size, two body circumference measurements are taken:
- girth of the torso under the mammary glands;
- the diameter of the body at the most protruding point of the bust.
Next, you need to subtract the smaller parameter from the larger number, and compare the resulting difference with the dimensional grid data. When performing such body measurements, it is imperative to maintain a straight back and apply the centimeter tightly to the body. For the second breast size, the difference between the above two parameters will be no more than 14-15 cm. Now you can begin to visualize breast size 2 in the photo.
This is what breast size 2 looks like in the photo
Typically, women of different body types have such breasts, not only thin women, but also women of large body constitution. Visually, the second bust size can be associated with fruits such as medium-sized oranges. At a time when the first breast size will not exceed the size of two apples, and the third bust size is comparable to two decent-shaped grapefruits.

Second breast size: pros and cons
The second breast size is considered the most uncertain, since some ladies with such breasts are satisfied with their parameters and consider their breasts to be lush and attractive. For others, this size is insufficient and becomes a reason for complexes.
To dispel unnecessary thoughts, you should simply compare the advantages of such breasts with a large bust:
- The second breast size always has a huge selection of sexy, fashionable underwear.
- A woman with such breasts can afford to wear any style of dresses, T-shirts and blouses with or without a neckline.
- Second-size breasts in any outfit will look elegant and not vulgar.
- This breast size is practically immune to age-related changes and deformation.
- In women over 30 years of age, such a bust does not suffer from sagging skin, the shape and circumference of the mammary glands do not lose their original appearance and look attractive for many years.
- During lactation, breasts of this size will retain their tone and relief, and the woman will not have problems with the spine.
- Small breast size is easier to restore after childbirth and breastfeeding.
Looking at such a large list of advantages of a second breast size, many women will probably reconsider their views on their bust. But it still has several disadvantages:
- compact breasts in dresses with a deep neckline look less appetizing than large breasts;
- The wrong choice of clothing can give a woman with size 2 breasts the appearance of a boyish physique.
There are no other negative aspects of a second breast size, so the opinion that such breasts require enlargement cannot be considered justified.
Increasing the second breast size
It is possible to significantly enlarge size 2 breasts only by.
But only a few women decide to take such a step, since in addition to the high cost, the prospect of carrying a foreign body in oneself appeals to few people.
You can increase your second breast size through physical exercise, an adjusted diet, special care for the mammary glands and through cosmetic preparations.
- . To ensure that your breasts always look toned, you need to have strong pectoral muscles. To do this, you need to do several exercises, such as push-ups, arm swings, weight lifting and others. As stated in the previous article, you need to perform such workouts three times a week.
- . The mammary glands and their size are determined by the volume of fatty tissue in them. In addition, a woman’s hormonal background influences breast growth. Therefore, you need to eat foods rich in healthy fats every day. And you can improve your hormonal levels with foods that contain a lot of plant hormones like estrogens.
- Water treatments and massage. To improve blood flow and nutrition of the mammary glands, you can perform contrast shower procedures and then perform a simple breast massage. These actions perfectly tone and improve the shape and relief of the breasts.
- Many cosmetic products have been developed for breast growth, which contain plant and natural female hormones, which the woman’s body often lacks.
If you follow all the methods comprehensively, the results will not take long to arrive.
Second breast size: gift or punishment?
Do not think that a second breast size is not attractive enough for the opposite sex. Men value the aesthetic features of the breast much more, namely its elasticity, well-groomed and youthful appearance. A lush bust under its own weight very soon begins to sag and lose its tone and elasticity of the skin. In women with a second breast size, on the contrary, the original shape and relief of the mammary glands is preserved throughout life, emphasizing the miniature and femininity of the lady.
It is not for nothing that small breast size in ancient times was considered a sign of aristocracy and the elite class; many ladies from wealthy pedigrees were specially corseted.
Today, the catwalk of many fashion designers and designers is fragrant with slender beauties with zero, first and second breast sizes. And it’s rare to see a plus-size model here. Therefore, the desire to change and increase the second breast size can be safely considered unfounded and impractical.
Star women simply cannot live with a crooked nose, hairy legs or small breasts. Therefore, they have to make various sacrifices, even going under the knife, and agree to quite dangerous operations.
One of the advantages of female beauty is breasts! We present to you ten of the most famous Hollywood beauties with new silicone breasts.
1.Tara Reid
The result of the “efforts” of the surgeon, whom she later recalled with an angry, quiet word in an interview, was later shown to the whole world by a number of leading print publications.
With her natural breasts, Tara looked much more impressive.
2. Vivica Fox
The body tends not to perceive a foreign body, including an implant. She was firmly eliminated from the super-sexy list because her body did not accept the foreign body.
3. Tori Spelling
Tori, the famous Beverly Hills actress, changed her breast size from 1 to 3.
4. Paula Abdul
Silicone suits her.
5. Christina Aguilera
At the age of 18, she had surgery, but it was unsuccessful - veins appeared on the breasts with implants. Only after 7 or 8 years did Christina realize to return to the status quo.
6. Whitney Houston
They turned out to be cute “balls”.
7. Victoria Beckham
The former “peppercorn”, and now the wife of the most beautiful football player on the planet, also managed to sue the paparazzi, proving that her breasts are of natural origin.
8. Janet Jackson
The surgeon sculpted the largest size for her, as a result the skin turned out taut and transparent when viewed from the side.
Currently, breast augmentation operations are available, if not to everyone, then to most of those who have such a need. They are affordable both in price and geographically due to the fact that plastic surgeons who practice breast augmentation with implants are now found in almost all large and medium-sized cities of Russia.
It is necessary to immediately make a reservation that the term “pumping up the breasts with silicone” means precisely the use of silicone-filled implants. Injections into the chest using a syringe have only historical value. In European countries and the United States, the introduction of silicone-based fillers into the breast is prohibited by law due to the harmfulness of the procedure and its frequent complications.
For men and women
Everyone knows about silicone breast prostheses. Placing breast implants in men is a relatively new area of plastic surgery. And we are not talking about gender reassignment surgery at all.
Male breast implants are often called pectoral, so as not to be confused with female ones. They are most often used by those who are actively involved in sports in order to achieve an ideal figure.
Usually these are men who have a constitutionally narrow and flat chest and who cannot gain the desired muscle volume through physical exercise. Often, surgery to install pectoral implants is combined with liposuction and mastopexy for gynecomastia.
How do men feel about this?
The attitude of men depends on what kind of silicone breasts a woman gets herself. There is a common belief that such breasts:
- much denser than natural;
- she has a huge size;
- the operated breast has an unnatural shape, which often does not correspond to age, weight, etc.
In fact, none of the listed qualities is mandatory, but all of them together or in various combinations are found in women who, when choosing implants, were guided only by size.
Often these qualities are so pronounced that the question of how to distinguish silicone breasts from natural ones does not arise; everything is obvious. In addition to size, they have a fairly large number of other characteristics. If you approach the issue of choosing implants wisely, then no one will be able to distinguish artificially enlarged breasts from natural ones.

Types of implants
The density of the breast to the touch is determined by the density of the implant itself. If you choose a soft one, the illusion of natural breasts will be complete. In addition, such implants will behave naturally: take different shapes depending on the type of bra, the presence of clothing, and body position.
If you choose dense ones, then such breasts will be pleasant to look at from a distance, but to the touch they will be clearly artificial and hard. And such breasts will retain the same shape in any position and in any underwear.
Size and shape
Gigantomania and unnatural breast shape, which was chosen in accordance with a stereotyped and exaggerated idea of beauty, without taking into account the features of the figure and appearance in general, is what can often be seen in before and after photographs.
Size does not matter if, with an initial breast size of zero, a woman who is not particularly thin makes a choice between the second and incomplete third size.
If we are talking about the fourth or fifth size of a twig girl, then we can say with confidence that the unnaturalness will not only be noticeable, it will be striking.
As for the shape, some ladies after the age of thirty often change implants just to make the breast shape more natural for their age. The most interesting thing is that there is not a single comment on men’s forums about the presence of scars as a sign of silicone breasts.
The presence of scars only for women is an indicator of unnaturalness, and even then not for everyone. This means that if you approach the choice of breast size, shape and implant density wisely, then others will not have any suspicions about your new shape.
Pros and cons of silicone breasts
The pros and cons of silicone breasts are relative and are often a consequence of which implants the patient chose and how well the surgery was performed.
Pros:
Photo: silicone prostheses - excellent mood, well-being and self-esteem from the fact that the breasts look great;
- the ability to become pregnant and breastfeed without restrictions if the ducts of the mammary glands are not damaged during the operation;
- a new wardrobe and a collection of new swimsuits every year;
- new relationship with an old or new partner.
Minuses:
- cost of surgery, implants, compression garments, recovery period;
- the operation is performed under general anesthesia;
- the need to spend part of the planned or unpaid leave on the operation and the postoperative period, since sick leave is not given for plastic surgery;
- the recovery period requires compliance with a large number of restrictions;
- after childbirth, the shape of the operated breast may change for the worse;
- there may be adverse consequences of the operation, such as displacement of the implant, its rupture, contouring of the implant under the skin, back pain and much more;
- inability to breastfeed if the milk ducts are damaged during surgery through an incision around the nipple.

FAQ
Which ones to choose?
If earlier implants were chosen solely on the principle of “the bigger,” now a huge size is not in fashion. Ideal shapes are in fashion as an indicator of youth and health. Therefore, preference should be given to safe, proven products from those manufacturers that have proven themselves well.
The shape and size must be chosen based on the shape and size of the bust you want to get. To prevent such complications as capsular contracture, implants with a rough surface have been developed.
What can you save on during breast augmentation?
You cannot save on the cost of implants, since replacing low-quality prostheses is a full-fledged operation that is performed under anesthesia and costs money. There are young ladies who find some offices in Europe that sell them cheap. If you want to repeat their experience, please note that this is entirely your responsibility.
You cannot save money on compression garments, since the effectiveness of healing during the recovery period depends on it. You can’t save money on pain relief for the operation either, since you can choose a budget option for anesthesia, but this means a long recovery from anesthesia after the operation, poor health, nausea and vomiting.
Those who were given anesthesia with good drugs feel much better. After such anesthesia, by the evening you can have a full dinner, and you feel much better.
During the recovery period, medications such as painkillers and antibiotics, silicone patches, and scar removal creams will also be periodically needed.
The only thing you don't have to pay for is the pretentiousness of the clinic. But only in those cases if you can find, through recommendations, an excellent surgeon whose services will cost a reasonable amount of money.
Is it possible to breastfeed a baby like this?
It all depends on the method of performing the operation and the location of the incisions. To maintain the opportunity to breastfeed your baby, two conditions must be met:
- the incision should not take place in the area of the areola, since it is in this place that the milk ducts come closest to the skin and there is a risk of damage to them;
- the implant should be installed under the muscle, or partially under the muscle, but not under the glandular tissue of the mammary gland, as this may damage the glandular tissue of the mammary gland.
How can surgery affect pregnancy?
The operation can only become a problem if it occurs in the first days or weeks after conception. Anesthetics, painkillers and antibiotics can have a toxic effect on the fetus and cause birth defects. Therefore, it is recommended to terminate such a pregnancy. In other cases, no plastic surgery is a contraindication for conceiving and bearing a child.
Will the scars be very noticeable?
If there is no tendency to form hypertrophic or keloid scars, then there is no risk of developing rough scars. To make everything look absolutely perfect, you can make an incision in the armpit or perform an endoscopic operation.
Do implants need to be changed?
3rd generation implants, which are currently used for breast augmentation, do not require routine replacement. Repeated surgery will be required if mastoptosis develops and cosmetic defects such as skin ripples appear.
Price
Prices often depend on the experience and reputation of the plastic surgeon, so any attempt to save money can lead to unplanned costs for correcting cosmetic defects that may appear after unsuccessful breast augmentation surgery.
This article contains detailed information that will help you make the best decision for you. It answers questions you may have about breast augmentation or breast reconstruction surgery to help you make an informed and informed decision about whether you want to have silicone breast implants.
We will answer frequently asked questions along with complete, detailed, and informative answers on all safety aspects related to implants. We want to help women make informed and informed decisions.
What kind of material is this?
Silicone is made from silicon, a semi-metallic or metal-like element that naturally combines with oxygen to form silicon dioxide, or silica. Silicon dioxide is the most abundant substance on Earth. When silica is heated with carbon at high temperatures, a material can form.
Upon further processing, it can become a long-chain compound, or polymer, called siloxane; it may be a liquid, gel or rubber-like substance.
Various silicon-containing compounds are used in lubricants and oils, as well as silicone rubber. Organosilicon compounds are found in many everyday items, such as:
- varnishes,
- sun cream and hand cream,
- antiperspirants,
- and chewing gum
Are silicone breasts safe?
Special studies have shown that the content of silicon dioxide in cow's milk and commercially available infant formula is significantly higher than in the breast milk of women with implants.
The Institute of Medicine concluded: " There is no evidence that silicone implants are responsible for the development of any serious diseases in the body. Women are constantly exposed to silica in their daily lives».
Can I go to a solarium or sunbathe if I have implants?
Salon tanning and sunbathing will not damage the implant, but may worsen the condition of the scars. You should avoid sun exposure and tanning salon exposure to the scar area for at least one year after surgery, as such rays can cause permanent darkening of the scar.
The implant, like any tissue, can heat up, and it takes longer to cool down than the rest of your body.
When can I fly and/or scuba dive?
Many women with silicone breasts go scuba diving and fly on airplanes. With changes in pressure, some stretching and contraction of the implant shell may occur. This may result in some air bubbles forming inside the implant.
With both gel and saline implants, you may feel or hear fluid-related sounds (gurgling). These phenomena should disappear on their own within 24-48 hours.
When can I wear a bra again?
Many doctors ask that women not wear a bra with wire inserts (underwire) after implantation. within 3 months after surgery. During this period, scar tissue will form around the implant. Therefore, the additional pressure of the wire may cause marks to form in the scar tissue that will remain permanent.
After the initial healing period, wire bras should also not be worn continuously to prevent such marks from appearing.
Will my silicone breasts retain their natural mobility?
This depends on many factors, such as the type of implant, the method of incision, how your body tolerates the presence of the implant, and the presence of varying degrees of capsular contracture. For many women, breast implants retain softness and good mobility, while for others, the breasts may become denser, and the implant will be more likely to be fixed in a certain position.
How much does the implant weigh?
The weight of the implant depends on its size and filling volume. Implant volume 200 ml. filled with gel (about 250 ml) weighs about 250 grams.
Will implants cause stretch marks on the breasts?
Placing an implant may cause stretch marks (stretch marks), but this is extremely rare. If you are concerned about this problem, choose a smaller implant to avoid skin wrinkling, or choose an implant with an adjustable volume, which stretches the skin more slowly, gradually increasing the volume.
How do breast implants affect mammography results?
Breast implants can interfere with detection of signs of breast cancer or mammography and make mammography difficult. It is important that before the mammography procedure you inform the specialist about the presence of an implant. It may be necessary to use special moving techniques and take photographs in additional proportions.
Is it possible to be allergic to silicone?
Anyone can have an allergy to almost any substance present on earth, but an allergy to silicone is extremely rare. In our daily life, we constantly encounter silicon dioxide. It is found in many everyday items such as
- varnishes, suntan cream and hand creams,
- antiperspirants
- and chewing gum.
What is the average life expectancy of an implant?
Implants are not lifelong devices, so it is likely that sooner or later during your life you will need a replacement implant. The service life of silicone breasts is individual for each woman. Some women require implant replacement after just a couple of years, while others can live with them 10-20 years.
There are several different reasons why a woman may need implant replacement surgery. In some cases, this is done at the request of the woman herself, for example, to change:
- size or type of implant,
- and in other cases, deflation or displacement of the implant.
How long should I abstain from exercise and other activities after implant surgery?
Only your doctor can estimate the length of recovery time you need and advise you on when and how best to resume your activities. The duration of the recovery period is individual for each woman. As a rule, the first days are the most difficult. The average time to return to full activity is four to six weeks.
It is important that the wound does not get wet during the healing period. In this regard, it is necessary to reduce physical activity and sunbathing until the incision heals and is completely closed.
Do not start excessive physical activity too early, especially involving the upper body. Give your body the opportunity to rest and heal itself. In addition, you will want the swelling around the implant to go down as soon as possible, and excessive exercise does not help this.
As a rule, it is possible to take a bath after about a month. In the early postoperative period, from one to two weeks after surgery, do not wet the suture.
Before returning to work, be sure to consult with your doctor. Recovery time varies significantly between patients. It is usually recommended to walk more to improve blood circulation. The larger the silicone breast is, the heavier the iron will be. When running, you should wear a well-supporting bra, which will reduce skin shifting and reduce the likelihood of breast ptosis (sagging)..
What is capsular contracture?
The scar tissue, or capsule, that normally surrounds a silicone breast can tighten and compress the implant. This condition is called capsular contracture. Capsular contracture is most often observed after:
- past infection,
- hematomas
- and seromas.
In addition, it is more common with subglandular implant placement.
Symptoms may be hard to the touch and mild discomfort, but may include pain, changes in shape, the ability to feel the implant or its displacement. In case of severe pain and severe compaction, additional surgical intervention is required. The surgery may involve removing tissue from the implant capsule to release it and possibly replacing the implant itself.
After these additional interventions, capsular contracture may develop again. You should know that closed capsulotomy– a technique of forced squeezing or compression of the fibrous capsule around the implant, aimed at destroying the scar capsule, not a recommended method as it may cause implant rupture.
What effect does smoking have on the healing process after surgery?
Smoking causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing blood flow and oxygen transfer to surgical areas. To heal, tissues need blood supply and oxygen from the blood. With reduced blood supply, tissues heal more slowly.
Different doctors recommend different periods of smoking abstinence for patients before and after surgery. According to our data, these periods range from one to two to five weeks before and after surgery. Ask your doctor how long he thinks you should abstain from smoking before and after surgery.
Will my nipples lose sensitivity?
After implant surgery, changes in nipple sensitivity may occur. The sensation in the nipples may either increase or decrease. Various changes - from absence to increased sensitivity - can be either temporary or permanent.
Should I be at my ideal weight before breast augmentation surgery?
You should stay close to your ideal body weight. Significant weight loss after silicone breast implantation may adversely affect the results of the surgery. In this case, some ptosis (sagging) and a decrease in breast size may be observed. Significant weight gain can lead to an increase in breast size.
I am 50 years old, is old age a barrier to breast enlargement?
To perform the operation, your good health is important, not your age.
What changes will happen during pregnancy?
Each woman is individual, so the results of surgery performed both before and after pregnancy may be different. During pregnancy, the breasts enlarge and go through all the changes associated with pregnancy. The degree of change varies from woman to woman, with the size of the implant being one of the important factors.
Will I be able to breastfeed?
Many women with breast implants successfully breastfeed their children. Modern studies have shown that women who have breast implants, both silicone gel and saline, do not experience an increase in silicone levels in their milk compared to women who do not have breast implants. However, breast implants may affect the ability to breastfeed in some women.
The greatest likelihood of impairment of this ability is observed when performing a periareolar incision. Some women develop mastitis, an inflammation of the milk ducts, which can also lead to the formation of capsular contracture.
Taking antibiotics when symptoms first appear can help reduce the likelihood of developing this pathology. You should always report signs of inflammation to your doctor.
