Breast Implants/pregnancy Posted: 11-29-04 17:28pm
I have had breast implants for atleast
three years, and my husband and I are
thinking about having a child...I was
wondering what happens with your breast
implants during and after the pregnancy?
Do they lose the shape they have now?
Does the bag become saggy after
childbirth?

I did a little research for u- I got this
off ivillage.Com
"breast implants, whether silicone or
saline, may have other effects in
pregnancy. Some women have increased
breast tenderness as their own breast
tissue grows, and that growth combined
with the increased size present from the
implants stretches the overlying skin to
an uncomfortable degree. Depending on the
technique used to place the implant, it
may not be possible to breastfeed due to
damage to the nerves and ducts under the
nipple; most of the time, however, a woman
with implants will be able to nurse. But
certainly pregnancy is not the time to get
implants for the first time!"
this was from another site
"11—
effects on pregnancy, lactation, and
children
it has been suggested that children born
to, and breast-fed by, mothers with
silicone breast implants might be
adversely affected by transmammary or
transplacental delivery of silicone during
either breast feeding or pregnancy.
Silicone might be available for
transmission since periprosthetic breast
tissue, regional lymph nodes, and possibly
more distant sites in such women are
exposed to silicone fluid by gel fluid
diffusion, to silicone gel in cases of
implant rupture, and to silicone elastomer
from implant shells. Mothers with breast
implants might also have problems with
breast feeding due to the effects of
implant surgery, the implant itself, or
fear of lactation insufficiency and
transmission of complications to their
infants. The committee has reviewed the
effects of breast implants, especially
silicone gel breast implants, during
pregnancy and lactation.
Effects of silicone breast implants during
pregnancy
the ability of silicone to pass the
placental barrier depends on factors such
as the size of the silicone molecule. The
concentration gradient of silicone in the
maternal and fetal circulation is also
important. This gradient in turn is
dependent on other factors, including the
amount of silicone in the maternal-fetal
circulation, the protein-binding ability
of silicone, and the uterine blood flow.
Whether silicone crosses the placenta has
not been evaluated in women, but there is
little evidence of any elevation of"
do a search for implants-pregnancy on the
web--good luck!

Breast implants will become more saggy. I
know of a couple of people that have had
to have a "lift" after their first or
second child.

yeah, I was thinking the same. And I
think that was awesome of you to do
research for her, but she didn't mention
anything about the health of the baby.
I was trying to say in a funny/kind way
that there are more important things to
think about when you are ttc. I don't
mean to sound
b&*%! Either. Sorry della.
