I wonder about removing the implants being beneficial since it would require 
another surgery and new possibilities for further damage to nerves.  I usually 
ask a mother with implants to show me before and after pictures.  I have 
found in my experience that implants themselves are less of a concern for 
production than the breast development that was the reason she felt the need 
for augmentation.  I show mothers pictures that match the 'before' pictures 
when they have been struggling with production because it helps them to 
understand that they did not 'cause' this with the surgery.  Mothers have an 
uncanny ability to make everything their fault.  I find it helps them in the 
decisions for breastfeeding management if they can understand the reasons 
for where they are.

Take care,
