Breast augmentation surgery is the most common surgery procedure. As the popularity has risen, so has the number of myths, often driven by facebook posts. Some of the common myths related to breast augmentation and implants are: Breast Augmentation Affects Breastfeeding: The procedure involves incisions such that it is the tissue behind the breast and not within the breast that is cut. As long as the nipples and ducts are intact and undamaged, one will not face any disadvantage during the lactation period beyond the extra size and stretch. Moreover, there aren’t usually many issues with breastfeeding by women although an increased occurrence of capsular contraction may occur and this might link to mastitis. The Results Are Unnatural And Fake: With the advancement in technology, augmented breasts can be made to look more natural rather than typically fake. The surgeon will take into consideration your breast size and body type before proceeding with the process of choosing the right size implant. Their placement beneath the breast tissue or sometimes the chest muscles when the correct type is chosen can look very natural. Behind the muscle makes it easier for breast screening examination, but that isn’t mandatory. Implants Will Increase The Risk Of Cancer: The truth is breast implants do not lead to breast cancer. Instead it forms a scar tissue and the implant interferes slightly in the sensitivity of a mammogram reading. However, textured silicone implants will increase the life time risk of an uncommon cancer called BIA-ALCL. You must always discuss this in detail with your surgeon and if they are reluctant to or are not knowledgeable please find a specialist who is.
