Abstrakt: Introduction: A 28-year-old woman was able to maintain lactation for her 21-month-old child through the process of an En Bloc Total Capsulectomy Breast Implant Removal. This case study is important as it exemplifies collaborative care to achieve maintenance of lactation through a surgical procedure.
Main Issue: The participant was providing human milk to her 21-month-old child 4 times per day through breastfeeding and pumping and bottle feeding, and desired to continue lactation through explant surgery. The participant was experiencing Breast Implant Illness, yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, bottoming out of the right implant, severe capsular contracture of the right implant causing constant pain, limited mobility of the right arm and shoulder, and concern about an active recall on the brand implant she received.
Management: The lactation management began 3 weeks prior to the procedure with the participant expressing enough milk prior to the surgery to allow for human milk feeding from a bottle during the 7-day recovery period as desired. The surgical team and IBCLC selected an appropriate bra for recovery to allow for both appropriate surgical site healing and ease of access for pumping. Exclusive pumping was utilized until surgical drains were removed, after which the participant was able to reintroduce breastfeeding.
Conclusion: En Bloc Total Capsulectomy Breast Implant Removal can be performed while an individual is lactating without complication, given the appropriate multidisciplinary support. A temporary reduction of ease and efficiency of milk removal is possible post-operatively, in this case resolving within 24 hr.
