Can Breast Implants Affect Breastmilk Quality?

Having a beautiful breast shape is the dream of many women. That's what then makes women do the implant installation in the breast. However, is it true that the method can make women have trouble entering breastfeeding? Does implantation in the breast affect the quality of breast milk?

According to dr. Aditya Herwandar Sastrasupena, SpBP-RE from Bamed Healthcare, is basically an implant fitted away from the breast gland. That is, the implant installation is relatively safe and does not directly affect the quality of breast milk. Provided that the paired implant meets the standards and is done by someone who is truly an expert in the field.

Aditya added, the recommended implant to be installed is a type of solid silicone implant, because it has a lower risk. Never try a breast implant with liquid silicone. Although more instant and promising, the use of liquid silicone can be bad, even can cause you to lose the breast.

"If the liquid silicone, want anyhow not recommended in the body, especially in the breast. Complications that occur many, can cause disruption of milk production, neurological disorders, and others, "he said, when met in Jakarta some time ago.

Liquid silicon that is inserted into the body is potentially fused with tissue, including with the milk glands. If liquid silicone fused, and infection and inflammation occurs, it must be done the whole milk gland, including removal of the breast.

In addition, many people assume that solid silicone implants can produce milk that feels like rubber. Though the assumption is not true. Aditya broke it off by saying that silicone implants have a system that is qualified enough to protect the breast - especially breastmilk - from contamination.

"Because the implants themselves, although silicone, but outside there is a capsule that becomes a blanket. So as to prevent silicon from spreading, "he said.

However, Aditya does not cover that women who have breast implants may find it difficult to breastfeed. This is because the pressure that had previously been caused by the implant installation, will be added by the filled milk glands.

"At the time of breastfeeding, giving birth, our breast glands filled with milk, automatically if there are implants in it there may be less pain. But does that affect milk production? No. Does it interfere with the lactation process? No, "Aditya said.

In addition, he mentioned that until now there has been no research showing the relationship between milk quality with implants. Babies who suckle from breast implants have not been found to experience a certain effect.

Thus, the explanation of the relationship between the implant installation in the breast with the quality of breast milk. Each person must have a good reason to do the implants in the breast or not. If interested, you should make sure that the material used is the best implantable material, and the installation is only done by a competent physician in the field.
