A breast lift is done to enhance a breast that has a sagging appearance. It can involve implants, but not always. The nipple is usually re-positioned as well to give the breast a more perky appearance. An augmentation is the actual procedure where an implant is placed to give the breast more volume. This can involve saline or silicone implants.

Is one at risk of loosing their nipple when it is repositioned? And what about breast feeding after things are moved around?

I found this on a baby site
It's likely, but it depends on the kind of surgery you had. Incisions made under the fold of the breast or through the armpit shouldn't cause any trouble. The most popular method, making a "smile" incision around the areola, puts you at greater risk for problems.
If the nerves around the areola were not cut or damaged during surgery, you may be able to nurse fully or partially. Nerves are vital to breastfeeding because they trigger the brain to release prolactin and oxytocin, two hormones that affect milk production. Your chances of breastfeeding also improve if your milk duct system is intact.
There's no evidence that silicone from silicone implants leaks into breast milk, but even if it did, it probably wouldn't harm your baby. Silicone is very similar to a substance used to treat babies' stomach gas.
