Here are the top 5 myths and facts about Breast augmentation surgery:

Myth 1: Breast augmentation affects Breastfeeding.

Fact: It is one of the most common myths surrounding breast augmentation surgery. Many people doubt that breast implant would affect their ability to breastfeed. This is due to their fear of transferring chemicals to the baby. However, it is merely a myth, as Breastfeeding does not affect pregnancy, lactation or nursing. The procedure involves the implant being placed underneath the chest muscle or breast tissue. We do not touch the milk duct area at all. There is no risk of breastfeeding concern as long as the milk ducts and nipples are intact and undamaged.

Myth 2: The results look unnatural and Fake.

Fact: Breast implant surgery gives you aesthetic results if done correctly. It’s all about your plastic surgeon’s expertise, skills, and experience how well and precisely they perform the breast implant job. Choosing the right type of breast implant or material, the right, and realistic size, and the technique of placement are all at play in delivering the best natural results possible. The expert board-certified plastic surgeon considers several factors before making a surgical plan. However, an evaluation session is essential to know your right size before deciding on breast augmentation surgery.

Myth 3: Bigger breasts are better.

Fact: The natural size of breasts is not so much bigger, but with an aesthetic shape, contour, and size. However, saying that bigger breasts are better has no point to get obsessed with. Thus, breast augmentation surgery aims to offer you the aesthetic shape, volume, and size of the breasts. One must note that larger breast implants tend to sag over time and may require revision surgery. Therefore, the plastic surgeon always recommends an aesthetic size that suits your body type and fits your lifestyle.

Myth 4: Implants will last for only ten years.

Fact:  This is a myth that implants do not last long. The truth is that high-quality silicone implants can last a lifetime. The rate of implant deteriorating before ten years is also very low. Most breast implant companies give a 10year warranty, however you may not experience any issues even up to 15-20years. There might be cases of implant leakage/ implant wear or capsular contracture causing breast discomfort, but there will be no side effects to the body. A simple procedure of implant replacement can be done at anytime. The old implant is very easily replaced by a new one. However, it is crucial to visit your plastic surgeon at intervals to track your breast augmentation/breast implant status.

Myth 5: I will lose sensation in my breasts.

Fact: Initially, you may feel loss of sensation on your nipples after the surgery, but as your nerves adjust to new contours, your nipple will start feeling the sensation in a few months. There is no truth behind the permanent loss of breast sensation after breast augmentation surgery.

Conclusion:

Overall, we can say that breast augmentation surgery using breast implants is a safe and result-oriented procedure if performed well by an expert plastic surgeon. The exact size of breast implants is based on the realistic goal and overall body profile, which must be proportionated to your body type to fit your lifestyle.
