Institute of Medicine (US) Committee on the Safety of Silicone Breast Implants; Bondurant S, Ernster V, Herdman R, editors. The sample was reduced to 43 children with recurrent abdominal pain and then, for unclear reasons, further reduced to 26 children with additional symptoms such as vomiting, dysphagia, decreased weight-height ratio or a sibling with these complaints. About 30% of breast implant augmentations are carried out through a periareolar incision; ASPRS, 1997. Waiting until after you have children to have breast augmentation, reduction or breast lift surgery may help decrease the need for further adjustments or revisions, as your breast tissue may be altered after a pregnancy.

Six of the eight breast-fed children from mothers with silicone breast implants were reported to have significantly abnormal esophageal motility with nearly absent peristalsis in the distal two-thirds and decreased lower sphincter pressure based on esophageal manometry and upper-intestinal endoscopy with esophageal biopsy.Midwife CJ Blennerhassett previously told Motherly that while couples often imagine sharing the baby duties equally, in reality the nursing parent will be doing the majority of work involved in the feeding. Only one study involved a matched comparison group, and the type of implant was specified in only one study, although most of the women in the other two reports probably had gel-filled implants, given the usage of implants for augmentation at the time of the study. Infants may have significant exposure to silicone in infant formulas, cows' milk, bottle nipples, and infant pacifiers.

The authors concluded that esophageal dysmotility was chronic in children breast-fed by mothers with silicone breast implants and that prokinetic agents (like ranitidine) might be useful in treatment ( Levine et al. World Health Organization recognises that while providing some breast milk to the infant is better than none, exclusive breastfeeding is needed to achieve optimal growth, development, and health for infants [ 5]. In yet another report from the same laboratory comparing 15 lactating women with silicone breast implants to 34 lactating control women, mean silicon concentrations in breast milk were 0. You may have a couple of side effects because of your implants, including more intense breast engorgement (when your breast is hard, swollen and feels full).

The potential to compromise lactation as a result of breast augmentation is particularly relevant with regards to cosmetic breast surgery, which is an elective procedure motivated by aesthetic appeal, rather than in reconstructive surgery (such as following mastectomy). Levine and Ilowite (1994) speculated that their findings provided support for a scleroderma-like esophageal disease in children breast-fed by mothers with silicone breast implants. It is possible that proliferative responses reflect some non- antigen-specific reaction to silica, but the authors' conclusion that silicone crosses the placenta and causes T-cell responsiveness to silica (an entirely different molecule) in children is speculative. concluded that silicone crosses the placenta, causing T-cell responsiveness to silica in the children.

If breast milk is a key factor in effects in children, these findings do not identify a cause; they provide evidence against elevated silicone as a causative agent in human breast milk. We also excluded studies of women with breast augmentation subsequent to treatment for breast cancer, studies with a comparison group that comprised women with other types of breast surgery, and those lacking a control group altogether. Teratologic and mutagenic effects were not observed at the dose levels and in the species employed ( Kennedy et al.Silicone, as a component of Simethicone-containing proprietary drops, is also considered safe and effective as a treatment for colic or gastrointestinal hypermotility in infants and children. In addition to the reports discussed above, six studies report eight cases of abnormal lactation or lactation complications (mastitis, galactorrhea, or galactocele formation) after breast implant surgery ( DeLoach et al. In this survey discussed earlier, 61% of women with breast implants chose to breast feed, suggesting that the prevalence of attempted breast feeding by women with implants approximates its prevalence in the general population. If you decide to give your baby a dummy, it’s better to wait until breastfeeding is well-established and he is gaining weight well.
