<<I've just recently read of a couple of different cases where women were =
told by their doctors/ plastic surgeons that they should not breastfeed =
for longer than 2-4 weeks, so that they don't stretch out their breasts =
& have to have their implants re-done. They, understandable, do not =
want to have to pay $5000 more.
Is there any info out there that can combat what these doctors are =
saying?>>
well, as I understand it, implants are now usually placed behind the muscles
of the chest wall, so I fail to see how they would move at all as a result
of breastfeeding. I suppose the actual breast tissue would stretch things
as usual, causing an overall change in appearance. Does anyone have any
experience with this?
On the other hand, if a woman feels the appearance of her breasts is more
important than her baby...I doubt very much anything we have to say will
change her mind. : (
