Abstract
QUESTION. One of my patients has silicone breast implants. She gave birth to a healthy baby boy but is afraid to breastfeed because she read in a magazine that the baby might be affected by silicone secreted in the milk. How should I advise her? ANSWER. Neither silicone nor its components could be measured in the breast milk of women with silicone implants. Your patient should be able to breastfeed safely.
