Mammoplasty is one of the most common types of plastic surgery. And at the same time, there are many myths around this procedure. What rumors are not true.
Myth 1: you can not increase the breast before the birth of the first child
If 30 years ago it was really impossible to dream about such a thing, then current methods allow you to feed a child, even if there are implants. Therefore, you do not need to think that with an enlarged breast you can not do this. Recommendations to wait with the correction of shape and size are usually associated with another reason: during pregnancy, the breast increases, and after childbirth it decreases. There is a high probability that after the birth of the baby you will have to go to the plastic surgeon again and do a second operation.
Myth 2: You need to change your implants every 5 years
when there is no discomfort or complaints after five years of wearing implants, there is no need to run to a plastic surgeon for a planned replacement. Manufacturers guarantee a lifetime of wear with proper care of breast. If the integrity of the artificial breast is broken, then it will not be possible to avoid such a procedure again. Usually, the integrity of implants changes after 15-20 years, and then not at all. the gel, as a rule, does not flow outside the capsule, so there is no threat to the patient’s health. Of course, provided that these problems are noticed in time. therefore, it is important to be in touch with your doctor and undergo annual examinations. however, and those who do not have enlarged breasts, too.
Myth 3: enlarged breasts are the cause of cancer
Implants themselves do not affect the development of cysts. Numerous studies have shown that women with implants can develop ALCL (anaplastic large cell lymphoma). But the disease is so rare that it would be foolish to be afraid. It was only found in people with dental or femoral implants. It is noteworthy that breast cancer is formed in every 10th woman and without enlarged mammary glands. Therefore, it is not always justified to assume that breast augmentation is dangerous for this reason.
Myth 4: after breast reduction, it will not be the same
Size, of course. But the shape should not change if your own fabric was enough. Otherwise, scars may remain after the implant is removed. This is due to the fact that the surgeon needs to remove the skin that covered the silicone. Returning the form will not be a problem. For this, there are other procedures, such as lipofilling or lifting.
Myth 5: having enlarged your breasts, you can not go to the gym, bath and solarium
If such restrictions existed for life, it is unlikely that there would be such a large number of people who want to make themselves beautiful. Restrictions are only maintained for the recovery period, which takes approximately 2 months. After rehabilitation, all bans are gradually removed.
