Do Breast Implants Influence Breastfeeding? A Meta-Analysis of Comparative Studies

“…Included studies consisted of two retrospective cohorts, two prospective cohorts, and one cross-sectional study—749 cases and 30,875 controls from 1990 to 2014. Andrade, Coca, and Abrão (2010), Hurst (1996), and Filiciani et al (2016) had specialized trained staff to help mothers establish breastfeeding after delivery. Cruz and Korchin (2010) and Roberts, Ampt, Algert, Sywak, and Chen (2015) did not mention whether mothers were provided with such a service.…”

“…Moreover, the follow-up duration was not adequate either. Filiciani et al (2016) selected participants with similar characteristics and birth dates, making the cases and controls relatively comparable. However, breastfeeding outcomes were not collected through independent blind assessment or record linkage, which also brought potential bias.…”

Lactation Outcomes in More Than 3500 Women Following Primary Augmentation: 5-Year Data From the Breast Implant Follow-Up Study

“…Data from women who surpassed the 5-year visit window demonstrate that mothers with implants decided to breast-feed in approximately 80% of births, a rate that aligns well with the rate of breast-feeding initiation in the general population in the United States (79% of newborns in 2011), 15 as well as previously reported rates of breast-feeding among mothers with augmented breasts (63%-93%). 4,16,17 The incidences of complications in BIFS-001 were generally similar among women with silicone and saline implants, regardless of incision site, implant location, implant size, and subject age.…”

Breastfeeding: answers to some difficult questions lactating women

“…Так, работы итальянских ученых показали, что большинство пациенток с грудными имплантатами смог-ли осуществить исключительно грудное вскармливание, однако в меньшем проценте случаев, чем женщины без имплантатов. При этом никаких существенных различий не было обнаружено между использованием различных хирургических методик [8]. Большой обзор исследований на эту тему был проведен в 2014 г. австралийскими уче-ными.…”
