However any nursing can pump bacteria in and out of the breast which may not be advised in the face of a known rupture, .

Ultrasound wrong?: The detection of implant rupture on ultrasound is extremely operator dependent and your result may not be accurate. Mri is the most accurate imaging examination for the evaluation of implant rupture.. Your doctor is being cautious in light of the ultrasound report however there is no evidence that breastfeeding with a ruptured implant is harmful to the baby and should be discontinued.
