Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures in the United States but, despite its popularity, it is rather misunderstood. We’ve heard many breast augmentation myths that confuse potential patients and may prevent them from pursuing the breasts of their dreams. Today, let’s debunk these myths and discover the truth about breast augmentation. Make an informed decision about the best options for your body!
Breast Augmentation Myth #1 – You Can Tell When a Woman Has Implants
How many women do you know with breast implants? There are likely many more than you think. While some women are very open about their breast augmentation, others keep it quiet. Dr. Tehrani is well known for his natural looking breast augmentation results. Depending on the size of implant you choose, its placement, and the location of your incisions, your breasts can look completely natural, sometimes even without clothing. Our goal is to create breasts that look and feel as natural as possible.
Breast Augmentation Myth #2 – You Can’t Breastfeed After Breast Augmentation
Many women assume that breastfeeding is impossible after breast augmentation, but this isn’t true for the majority of women. Many women are able to successfully breastfeed with implants. If you’re planning future children and would like to breastfeed, tell us during your consultation. Some incision types are more conducive to preserving the ability to breastfeed.
Breast Augmentation Myth #3 – Silicone Implants Are Better than Saline Implants
Saline and silicone implants are both excellent options for breast augmentation. Saline implants feature a silicone shell and a saline gel filling, while silicone implants have a silicone shell and a silicone filling. Both types have their advantages. Saline implants are filled once in place, allowing for a smaller incision. They may also be less expensive. Silicone implants feel very natural, even outside the breast. They often produce a better result for women with less natural breast tissue. We’ll help you choose the best type of implant for your body.
Breast Augmentation Myth #4 – Breast Implants Need to Be Replaced Every 10 Years
Modern implants are strong and long-lasting. If they are working well and you’re happy with the size, they don’t need to be replaced. However, occasions may arise when an implant will need replacement. These include capsular contracture, implant rupture, or the desire to change breast size. Many women enjoy their implants for a lifetime.
