Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures worldwide, but it's also surrounded by myths and misconceptions. Let's unravel some of the most common ones:
Myth 1: Breast implants look fake Reality: Modern breast implants come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, allowing for a natural look and feel. We at Aestheticure tailor the procedure for you to achieve desired aesthetic results while ensuring the implants complement your body's proportions.
Myth 2: Breast implants need to be replaced every few years Reality: While breast implants aren't lifetime devices, they don't necessarily need to be replaced every few years. Many women go years without any issues. However, routine check-ups with a healthcare provider should be done to monitor implant integrity and overall breast health. Myth 3: Breast implants interfere with breastfeeding. Reality: While breast augmentation can potentially affect milk production and breastfeeding, many women successfully breastfeed after augmentation. Choosing the right surgical technique and placement, along with discussing breastfeeding intentions with the surgeon, can minimize risks. Myth 4: Breast augmentation is only for increasing breast size. Reality: While increasing breast size is a common reason for augmentation, it's not the only one. Breast augmentation can also address asymmetry, congenital anomalies in breast formation, restore breast volume lost due to pregnancy or weight loss, and improve overall breast shape. Myth 5: Breast implants cause cancer. Reality: There's no scientific evidence linking breast implants to breast cancer. However, like any medical device, implants carry some risks, including the potential for developing a rare type of lymphoma called breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). The risk is extremely low, and regular monitoring can detect any issues early on. Understanding the facts behind breast augmentation can help individuals make informed decisions about this procedure. Consulting with a qualified plastic surgeon and discussing concerns openly is crucial to achieving safe and satisfying results. A thorough consultation with a qualified Board Certified Plastic Surgeon is essential for individuals considering a breast augmentation surgery. A skilled plastic surgeon will thoroughly evaluate your physical health and help you choose the right implant size as per your body proportions. They will also help you establish realistic expectations and guide you. If you are considering one, get in touch with Dr.Mitesh Bedi at AesthetiCure Clinic and we will make sure all your concerns are taken care of.
