Some BA myths

For those interested in a breast augmentations or a breast lift, chances are they have encountered myths about these procedures that have left them stumped.

"A large segment of our consultations are spent myth-busting," says Dr. Shain Cuber, specialist.

The nice part about this is that it allows for helpful myth-busting compilations (like the following) to be created and shared:

Myth 1: Women with breast implants can't breast-feed.False. Complications that interfere with milk production or cause nipple sensitivity are rare and often linked to periareolar incisions and over the muscle implant placement.

Myth 2: Silicone implants are not safe.False. This year, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved
Natrelle 410 silicone implants for augmentation in women 22 (18 in the UK) and older. These new implants come in many anatomical configurations and are called " gummy bear breast implants because of their candy-like texture.

Myth 3: Bigger implants will improve breast sagging.False. Implants simply increase volume. A separate procedure known as mastopexy (breast lift) is required to improve the laxity, shape and position of sagging breasts.
Mastopexy can be combined with breast implants in New Jersey if the patient wants to increase volume and reduce sagging.

Myth 4: Older cannot have breast implants. False. "There isn't an age limit when it comes to improving your appearance with breast augmentation," says Cuber, one of the top plastic surgeons NJ.

The only difference change that is typically made to mature woman's breast augmentation compared to that of a 20-something's is the addition of mastopexy to address sagging from aging, weight fluctuation and or pregnancy.

Myth 5: Sub-muscular placement is always best. False. Sub-muscular placement is better for patients with minimal breast tissue or those who plan to breast-feed, but not everyone.
"If patient has enough body fat, I prefer not disturbing the muscle by placing the implant over it," says Cuber.

I didn't know you can get implants when your old I thought you just had to keep these then change them till your to old to have them

Love Maisy x

Oh yeah! You can keep having your boobs for as long as YOU'RE happy to have them  xx

thanks for this cookie, I didn't know that unders were better for breast feeding. None of the surgeons I've seen mentioned this. It is something I want to do and I've been recommended overs so I'll bring it up in next consultation. I guess it's because I also lift weights so overs are better for that I think? xx

We had a few girls with overs breast feed here with no problems at all. Our most recent being our other admin nads who had a beautiful baby boy and she's feeding him just fine. Too be honest, aside from the American sotes which is where this link is from (American health news) we don't hear that here in the the UK and that's probably why surgeons haven't mentioned it.

The milk suits aren't interfered with at all when going over the muscle. Its not necessary to cut them, so I'm unsure why this article said that  

By all means though if you're concerned do discuss this with your PS   X

Thanks very much Cookie! Great resource of all things booby related as per usual! xx
