Abstract from The Journal of the American Medical Association:

Sclerodermalike esophageal disease in children breast-fed by mothers with silicone breast implants

Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Schneider Children's Hospital, Long Island Jewish Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New Hyde Park, NY 11042.

OBJECTIVE--To determine whether breast-fed children of mothers with silicone implants are at increased risk for the development of sclerodermalike esophageal involvement compared with children not exposed to silicone implants. DESIGN--Case-series [corrected]. SETTING--Referral-based pediatric gastroenterology clinic. PATIENTS--Eleven children (mean age, 6.0 years; range, 1.5 to 13 years; six boys and five girls) referred for abdominal pain who were born to mothers who had silicone breast implants (eight breast-fed children and three bottle-fed) were compared with 17 patients (mean age, 10.7 years; range, 2 to 18 years; 11 boys and six girls) with abdominal pain who were not exposed to silicone implants. METHODS--All children underwent esophageal manometry and upper intestinal endoscopy with esophageal biopsy and were tested for antinuclear antibody and autoantibodies to Scl-70, centromere, ribonucleoprotein, Sm, Ro, La, and phospholipid. RESULTS--Six of the eight breast-fed children from mothers with silicone implants had significantly abnormal esophageal motility with nearly absent peristalsis in the distal two thirds of the esophagus and decreased lower sphincter pressure. Upper esophageal pressures and motility were normal. Compared with controls, the breast-fed children had significantly decreased lower sphincter pressure and abnormal esophageal wave propagation. These manometric abnormalities were not seen in the three bottle-fed children. There was no difference in the expression of autoantibodies in the breast-fed children compared with the bottle-fed children or controls. CONCLUSIONS--A relationship appears to exist between breast-feeding by mothers with silicone implants and abnormal esophageal motility. Studies evaluating larger numbers of children are needed to determine the extent of the risk. Bartel, D.R.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether children breast fed by mothers with silicone implants (BFSI) have increased urinary excretion of nitric oxide (NO) metabolites and neopterin, whether these are associated with esophageal dysmotility, and whether in vitro incubation of macrophages with silicone increases NO synthesis.

METHODS: In a case-control study based on laboratory investigation, 38 BFSI children (17 male, 21 female, mean age 7.1 +/- 3.6 years, range 0.5-16.5) were compared with 30 controls (14 male, 16 female, mean age 8.4 +/- 3.5 years, range 2.5-17). Urinary NO was quantitated using the Griess reaction. Urinary neopterin was determined by radioimmunoassay. Murine macrophages were cultured with or without silicone and NO production assayed.

RESULTS: Urinary NO and neopterin were significantly increased in BFSI children compared with controls. There was a significant inverse relationship between urinary neopterin excretion and the severity of esophageal dysfunction. In vitro nitrite production was nearly 60% higher in macrophages grown on silicone compared to other growth conditions.

CONCLUSION: BFSI children have evidence of macrophage activation and this is associated with esophageal dysmotility. In vitro data support the proposal that silicone exposure causes macrophage activation.

Abstract Our aims were to determine the long-term clinical and manometric follow-up of 11 children with previously documented esophageal dysmotility, who had been breast-fed by mothers with silicone breast implants, their response to prokinetic agents, and to analyze changes in macrophage activation. Seven of 11 children had subjective clinical improvement. Weight/ height ratios remained the same or improved in 9/11. Biopsies at follow-up endoscopy were either normal or demonstrated mild esophagitis in 8/10. LES and UES pressures and percent propagation were not significantly different at follow-up, while wave amplitude significantly increased. Following intravenous metoclopramide, LES pressure, percent propagation, and wave amplitude significantly increased while UES pressure was unchanged. Urinary neopterin significantly decreased at follow-up, while urinary nitrates were unchanged. Esophageal dysmotility is chronic in this group of children, suggesting persistent autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Prokinetic agents may be useful in long-term management. The decreasing urinary neopterin levels suggest that, ultimately, there may be improvement in esophageal motility.

Breast-Feeding Best Bet for Babies

by D.

When Formula's Necessary

....there is some concern that silicone may harm the baby. Some small studies have suggested a link between breast-feeding with implants and later development of problems with the child's esophagus. Further studies are needed in this area. But if a woman with implants wants to breast-feed, she should first discuss the potential benefits and risks with her child's doctor.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

this is part of an article from Mentor's site:

Can I Breast-Feed with Breast Implants?

Breast implants may interfere with your ability to successfully breast-feed. With respect to the ability to successfully breast-feed after breast implantation, one study reported up to 64% of women with implants who were unable to breast feed compared to 7% without implants. The periareolar incision site may significantly reduce the ability to successfully breast-feed.

At this time it is not known if a small amount of silicone may diffuse (pass through) from the saline-filled breast implant silicone shell and may find its way into breast milk. If this occurs, it is not known what effect it may have on the nursing infant. There are no current methods for detecting silicone levels in breast milk

http://www.womenshealthnetwork.org/clearinghouse/saline.htm Ann, try this link for the info you are looking for. Anita Implants & Breast Feeding Ladies,My sister has saline implants, got them before I did in about 1996. Well she breast fed her first child and now she is pregnant again. When I mentioned to her that she should do some research on breast feeding with implants, she agreed to do so,and she sounded somewhat receptive to possible problems with implants, though she quickly pointed out that her first child was just fine. So she called yesterday and said don't worry, her doctor said that she could breasftfeed with no problems to the baby. I said well he might not know too much about it and she said, well he is an obgyn so he should know, and he has no reason to lie to me, he's not a plastic surgeon!So the question is, anyone have any DOCUMENTATION or studies or anything regarding this issue? She might look at hardcore facts, anything else is a waste of time. She is very stubborn, especially with her doctor backing her up. I do not know anything about this but I have seen posts that discuss issues with children being sick. THANKS!!!Ann

I am sorry. This pisses me off. I need to know-Did they have this info back in 1994 when I got them? My ps swore to me I would be able to breast feed, as I was hesitant to get them and told him I did not want them, if I couldn’t use them for what they are really here for. If they stopped me form breastfeeding.. Absolutly you can breastfeed with them..- he said! He said because they were behind the muscle, it wouldn’t affect the tissue or milk glands! it was the "other ones" the silicone gel behind the tissue that would. And guess what? I couldnt breastfeed. the milk would not come out no matter what I tried. Now I am thinking it was a godsent that Tyler didn’t get that tainted milk. THIS stuff makes me so irate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi

I know how you feel!!! I am SO angry with these money first corporations. I had two miscarriages after I got my implants after having two children (before implants). At the time I wa so sad but now I look back and am so thankful because I would have nursed them. My PS also said NO PROBLEM and I even had silicone implants. This world is so out of whack with the integrity and caring foro people. The almighty Buck comes first. Hopefully things will change in the future. I believe in Divine justice and down the road it will even out. It is so gross how the medical profession has sold out.

Love

Judi

, OF COURSE your PS didn't tell you that there was a chance you wouldn't be able to breastfeed!!...that might have made you think twice about getting implants...then the poor plastic surgeon may not have gotten your money that he so desperately needed! Man oh man, it pisses me off too....Colleen

Judi, I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriages. Has anyone else had miscarriages after implants? - I completely understand if you don't want to share this info...but anyone who doesn't mind, I'm really curious. See, I gave birth to a baby boy that was still born, then about a year and a half later, I found out I had cervical cancer...so I have lots of strikes against me anyway, even without worrying about the implant stuff! I really want to have babies one day, so I'm wondering if miscarrying is common with us silicone gals...just trying to see what the odds are I'll EVER have a baby. Thanks, Colleen

Hi ,

I think the miscarriages were directly caused by the implants. But now I am thankful because the silicone could have caused damage. My body is still in autoimmune mode but not as bad. I am hoping and praying for the day when my body returns to normal or at least close to normal. I get really sad sometime when I think about it all.

[Guest guest]

How long have you had your implants out? I have found in my case it

took about a year to 18 months to be rid of the really bad stuff,

neaurological crap. Pain issues took about 2 years. Sometimes I still

have pain issues, just not sure what is aging, what is over use and

what is implant at this point, I feel good enough that I don't have

to stress on it anymore.
