Breastfeeding with Implants: Playboy Models, Reality TV and You

Many women wonder if breastfeeding is possible with breast implants. This is in the news in a big way today as reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian and ex-Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson have expressed a desire to breastfeed their babies after they give birth, each due to do so later this year.

So the question: can one breastfeed after receiving breast implants?

“The answer is a resounding yes!” says Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Kirk Moore of Salt Lake City. He explains further that “the gland in the breast that produces milk is not disturbed in the slightest during a breast enlargement, and the implant material cannot be transferred to your baby.”

There you have it — and this applies not only to reality TV stars and Playboy models, but to the rest of us as well. Breastfeeding is seen as advantageous over formula-feeding for a variety of reasons ranging from better immunity for the baby to a lower rate of obesity for adults who were breastfed as infants.

The child of a woman with breast implants – whether silicone or saline – can enjoy these benefits as well.
