Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a life-altering decision that could make a huge difference to your appearance and your self-confidence. As with any surgery, there are a number of risks involved, but many of the “facts about breast augmentation” that you read on the internet are only myths. If you want to know more about cosmetic surgery, mastopexy, breast implants or breast lift surgery, contact a board-certified cosmetic surgeon for straight-forward answers to your questions. In the meantime, here are some of the common breast augmentation myths.

Common Breast Augmentation myths

• Breast implants are too hard to feel natural. It can happen that your breasts feel harder after breast augmentation (due to a natural capsule that forms around any type of implant in the body), but over 90% of women are completely satisfied with the look and feel of their breasts.
• Having breast augmentation increases the risk of cancer: A number of research institutions and universities have run tests and studies to find a link between breast implants and cancer, but there is no medical evidence that suggests that your cancer risk increases after breast augmentation surgery.
• I won’t be able to find a lump in your breast: Many women worry that they won’t be able to feel a lump in their breast (which could be a sign of breast cancer) after they’ve had breast augmentation surgery. There is some truth in this myth – getting a mammogram is a little more difficult to women who have breast implants, but radiologists are able to make the necessary equipment adjustments in order to properly examine your breasts.
• I won’t be able to wear a bikini without the scars showing. Great advances have been made when it comes to the incisions and techniques that breast augmentation surgeons use for implants. You will have four options for the incision placement (a doctor will advise you which options are applicable to your breast augmentation surgery – it can vary depending on whether you get silicone or saline implants). These options include the following: the bottom half of the areola, the inframammary (which is at the base of the breast), the armpit and the bellybutton. Plastic surgeons that have years of breast augmentation surgery experience are skilled at minimizing scarring.
