The Truth About Comment Breast Augmentation Myths

Breast augmentation is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures performed each year, but myths about the surgery still abound. Don’t let misconceptions about breast implants scare you away from having this life-changing procedure. Consider these breast implant myths and the truth behind them:

• Myth: Breast Implants Can’t Look Natural

There is no reason anyone has to know that you have had breast implant surgery. A skilled plastic surgeon can increase your bust line in a way that looks completely natural, so that only the people you choose to tell will know that you have  had anything done. You may see some women with obvious implants, but that’s usually because these women ask for implants that are larger than what their bodies are built for. You can choose whatever look you want for you breasts, including an understated, natural appearance.

• Myth: Breast Implants Are Bad for Your Health

There was once concern that  leakage of silicone from breast implants could cause widespread or  systemic diseases. Many tests have been completed that have shown that leakage from a silicone implant is not associated with diseases elsewhere in the body.  The silicone gel may cause inflammatory changes in the breast tissue itself so the FDA recommends regular MRI scans of the breasts only for the silicone implants to monitor for inflammatory reactions. The saline implants are filled with sterile IV fluid so when the saline implants leak the water is naturally absorbed by the body and there is no need for regular MRI scans.

Tummy Tuck: Your FAQs

If you are diligent about diet and exercise, but still can’t seem to get rid of loose skin, a tummy tuck might be the answer. This cosmetic surgery is popular among all patients but is especially favored by moms trying to reclaim their pre-baby bodies. If you’re considering a tummy tuck, here are the answers to some questions that are probably on your mind:

• Is a Tummy Tuck Like Liposuction?

Many people confuse tummy tucks and liposuction. Liposuction removes fat from your abdomen, but it doesn’t address the loose skin that often becomes a problem after weight loss or pregnancies. With a tummy tuck, that excess skin is removed to deliver a more flattering appearance. Oftentimes, liposuction and tummy tucks are performed together for the best results.

• Am I a Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

Tummy tuck procedures are not a replacement  for weight loss. You will reap the greatest benefit from a tummy tuck if you are at a healthy, stable weight and have excess skin around your abdomen. I

• What Is the Recovery from a Tummy Tuck Like?

After surgery, you will wear an elastic band around your waist to promote healing. For a few days after surgery, you may want to avoid sitting or lying in certain positions to protect the incision as it heals. Your surgeon may prescribe pain medication and antibiotics for you to take following the procedure. Be sure to follow your doctor’s recommendations on when you can return to your normal activities. Most patients will take one to two weeks off from work after the surgery depending on how physically demanding their jobs are.
