No danger: Barring any contraindications, breast feeding is recommended whether you have breast implants or not. While breast implants can, in some cases, lead to a decrease in milk volume, there is no change in the milk produced.

No: Breast implants can reduce your chances of being able to breastfeed by about 15-20%. Studies have been done that have shown no silicone being passed into the breast milk in women with silicone gel implants.
