As compared to a decade back, breast
augmentation surgery has become a
more common procedure now.
However, there are still some myths and
misconceptions surrounding this breast
enlargement procedure. One of the
popular misconceptions is that you need
to frequently keep on changing the
implants after the breast augmentation
surgery as it hinders the detection of
cancer during routine mammogram
tests. However, the fact is very much
different as women may require
changing the prostheses due to medical
reasons rather than any other reason.
BREAST AUGMENTATION
Given below are 5 top myths related to
this breast surgery.
Myth 1: Frequent rupturing
of the breast implants
This is one of the most common claims a woman is likely to encounter -- the myth that
the prostheses rupture easily often making further surgeries necessary for fixing the
damages. However, the reality is completely different from this assertion. Statistics
from the Institute of Medicine give a clear indication about the deflation rate being
only to the tune of 10% in the case of silicone implants after a period of 5 years and
7% after 7 years in the case of saline implants.
Myth 2: Implants result in mammograms being misread
Detection of breast cancer can be hindered as a result of breast implants obstructing
the view obtained by the mammogram. Although it may be true to a certain extent,
radiologists are sufficiently experienced and trained to manipulate the breast
differently and take additional views for ensuring the full visibility of the chest area.
Just as the above myth, this too is partly true as women having undergone breast
augmentation surgery are dropped by some of insurance companies. However, the
percentage of such companies is too small and it is not the common norm. In such
cases checking out the insurance company's policies regarding the breast
augmentation surgery becomes important. Ensure to ask them about the likely
premium hikes and the potential lapses in coverage in the initial stages of the surgery.
The fact is otherwise, implants do not cause the sagging of the breasts. It is the
genetic factors such as loss of weight and elasticity of the skin and gravity, which are
responsible for the sagging of breasts. Although additional weight may be added by
the prostheses, it is finally the genetic factors that determine as to when and how the
breast will sag in due course of time.
Myth 3: Breast implants will result in your getting
dropped by health insurance
Myth 4: Breasts tend to sag faster due to implants
Myth 5: Breastfeeding is not possible with implants
Breastfeeding may become difficult only in case of women having chosen to get the
incision done around the nipple or the areola. However, this problem does not arise as
today most of the incisions are placed in the armpit or beneath the breasts which also
help in hiding the scars.
Breast augmentation is an effective aesthetic procedure that offers women more
attractive breasts and a better overall body contour. Make sure that the procedure is
performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon at an AAAASF accredited
plastic surgery center.
