    I never thought I'd want them.....

    But I have been thinking about breast implants lately after weaning my boy a month and a half ago,

    i have practically no breast tissue left and it's really bothering me.
    I don't want a discussion on implants but I was wondering if anyone knows whether you can still breastfeed after getting them.
    as I wouldn't want to jeopodise breastfeeding another baby....

    Anyone , know anyone that has them and could still breastfeeding? Or has them and has b/f themselves?
    Thanks

    Some people can breast feed with implants, others can't. It might have to do with how the implant is positioned (under or over the muscle etc)

    I have heard of many who have been able to feed with implants.

    My boobs are ruined too (thanks Blake!) They went from a B/C to an E cup and back down to a C/D. They have twice as much skin as before and are long and flat without a bra (I can almost tuck them into my pants ) I have been contemplating one day having them "done" but I plan to wait untill I've finsihed having babies because I dont want to risk not being able to breastfeed. I know that implants can effect the nipples and there would be no guarantees it wouldn't damage the ducts etc.

    yeah I was going to wait too but it's doesn't look as though my babies are going to be too close together and we practically live at the beach, what about the mean time, just suffer looking like a twelve year old

    if your worried about how they look at the moment, have you gone and been fitted properly for a good bra? same goes for a good supportive swimsuit, maybe that way you can wait til after babies to have them done
    (ps i want mine done too )

    As someone else said some can BF some can't, really depends on your own body also the size and placement on the implants.

    It's something I've thought about to, I've always had decent sized boobs but after BF they feel/look like empty sacks, there's no volume to them.
