Thoughts for the pessimists
What makes your brain tick?
According to researchers, any part of your body, if you don't use it you lose
it, and particularly your brain, the more you use it the more brainy you become.
Can Women With Implants Still Breast-Feed?
Millions of women have had silicone implants to increase the
size of their breasts, and many did not think about breast-feeding at the time
of the operation.
After Your Breast Enhancement, Can You Still Breast-Feed?
The short answer to this question is, it depends on how the surgeon has done
with the operation.
If the milk ducts that lead to the nipple are severed or
blocked then breast-feeding is out.
The same is true if the nerve or blood supply to the nipple
has been affected by the surgery.
However, in other cases, breast feeding with an implant should
be possible.
Many women report problems such as blocked milk ducts and abscesses after breast
operations of all kinds - not just cosmetic surgery.
However, loss of sensation around the nipple often occurs with
implants.
This can lead to interference with the operation of the
hormones prolactin and oxytocin, which are both involved in milk production.
Some women have implants in just one breast to remedy a
lopsided look.
In these cases there should be no problem in feeding with the
unaffected breast.
There have been scare stories about implants, but the good news is that they do
not deteriorate as you get older and they don't suddenly explode if you go up in
an aircraft.
Mantra: ‘You can't cure brain death but you can prevent
it.
What's the moral in these stories?
