Although breast implants were something that were virtually unheard of a couple of decades ago, it seems like now it’s more common to meet someone who has breast implants versus those who don’t. In fact, breast implants are now the most common plastic surgery procedure performed in the United States. Recent statistics have shown that during the course of last year, over 350,000 women decided to get breast implants (in spite of the downturn in the economy).

Because surgeons perform so many breast implant operations, getting breast implants is a fairly safe procedure (as long as you chose a reputable doctor). However, as simple as it may be for a surgeon to perform, getting breast implants is still a medical procedure, and as a result there are still going to be risks involved. Because of this, it is important to thoroughly educate yourself about the procedure before making your final decision.

One common question that many women have is whether or not you can breastfeed with implants. Although there are plenty of women who decide to get breast implants after their children are already grown up, there are just as many or more who get breast implants at a point in their life when the issue of breastfeeding may arise in the future.

If this is a question that you have had, the answer is yes, you can still breastfeed with implants. If you keep up with any celebrity news, you may have recently found this out as it was discussed by Kendra Wilkinson and Kourtney Kardashian (who are both pregnant, have breast implants and are planning on breastfeeding their babies).
