Myths about implants for mammoplasty

To date, it has become very in demand, and from this and so-called mammoplasty, in other words, the correction of the volume and shape of the breast (mammary glands) with the help of implants. Perhaps, this is one of the most successful techniques in plastic surgery. Well, firstly, the operational trauma is insignificant, and the traces of intervention are completely unobtrusive. Secondly, after surgery, the breast looks perfect and flawless. And thirdly, the result is visible right away, which means - forget about tiresome expectations.


However, no matter how attractive this operation is, yet many women with excitement and even fear treat it. On the one hand, they seem to want to enlarge their breasts, and on the other, they are desperately afraid of the consequences after it. The best way out in this matter is to find out as much information as possible about it. So, here are some misconceptions about this issue.

The first myth says that endoprosthetics of the breast causes oncological diseases, i.e. cancer . However, many studies in this area have shown that mammaplasty does not affect the occurrence of cancer in women. This is confirmed by many research institutes, including the world expert ROA (control department for the quality of medicines and food products in the US). They actually canceled the ban on the use of silicone implants.

The second myth says that after a certain time, implants need to be changed. This is not true, because they need to be changed only if the prosthesis was damaged, which in principle is impossible because of their incredible strength. For example, modern implants have a strong multi-layered shell, which withstands stretching to 600 kg.

Well, the third myth insists on the inability to lactation (feeding) of the endoprosthetized breast. The operation is carried out through the sub-mammary and axillary access (fold under the breast), and accordingly the gland tissues are not injured in any way and are not damaged, which means that all this has no effect on the ability to lactate. One can only assume that the prosthesis can cause lactostasis (milk stasis) during implantation through the nipple-areolar complex, but there are no statistics and convincing evidence of such cases to date.

Finally, many women are afraid of the risk of postoperative complications. Small bruises in the seam area, no doubt, will be, but this is surgery, and so, like a cut on the finger, it takes a short time for the wound to heal. In rare cases, so-called prosthetic infections may occur, this happens due to violations of antiseptic rules during surgery or because of infection in the patient's body.

So, dear ladies, forget your prejudices and unfounded fears. If you find your breast unworthy of admiration and see only one way to improve it, then act, and then enjoy the result. But remember, before you lie down on the operating table, choose the size of the implant that suits your body, and not the one that you would like, this will become a guarantee and guarantee that it will never harm you.
