En CanaryDoctor We want to reveal the 10 myths and truths about the breast augmentation surgery:
1. The prostheses expire in a few years.
This myth is FALSE (if you know how to choose the medical team / Clinic that will operate on you). Today, prostheses are multi-layered, cohesive gel textured silicone implants that are much stronger than previous prostheses. Is about prosthesis are designed to last.
2. The larger the implant, the greater the risk of complications arising.
This is TRUE. Specialists in medicine and cosmetic surgery agree that adverse effects or difficulties increase the greater the size of the implant. For example, with a large prosthesis, there is a greater chance that a capsular contracture or folds in the skin.
3. Breast prostheses can cause cancer or make detection of possible tumors more difficult.
This is FALSE. However, it is recommended that women who have breast surgery undergo mammary screening through a scanner rather than a mammogram. Mainly because mammography can cause damage to the implant due to pressure.
4. The prostheses are noticeable, It doesn't look like a natural chest.
TRUE OR FALSE based on many factors. You can get a very natural and harmonious; everything will depend on the type of breast of the patient, the size and shape of the implant, the brand of the implants and above all, the plastic surgeon you choose to perform the procedure.
5. Can there be rejection of implants?
Rejection as such does not occur, but capsular contracture may occur. A scar is formed around all implants, which is a normally very fine isolation barrier, and in some cases this can thicken and harden. These are very rare cases and once again, putting yourself in the hands of plastic surgeons with extensive experience and success cases in this type of procedure will be your best bet to avoid any problem.
