Breast Augmentation is one of the most frequent plastic surgeries. There are two types of prosthesis: the first is based on physiological serum, while the second is made with silicone gel, the latter being preferred by women. However, there are a lot of myths surrounding implants, which I am going to debunk now:
1.- Change of prosthesis from time to time:
The answer is that there is no estimated time to change them, since there is no type of inconvenience with their use. They can be used as long as necessary.
2.- Allergy to implants:
When breast implants are placed in the woman’s body, it is the same organism that is in charge of isolating them because it surrounds them, preventing any allergies from occurring. Similarly, silicone is well tolerated by patients.
3.- The use of implants causes problems with lactation:
Many pregnant women with breast implants worry about breastfeeding. The breast prosthesis is very well accepted during pregnancy and does not interfere at all with lactation.
4.-Traveling by plane is dangerous:
Many say that women with breast implants have difficulties when traveling by plane, some even believe that the prostheses can explode due to the pressure while flying. I must emphasize that it is false, this does not imply any complication neither for the woman nor for the implants.
5.- Loss of sensitivity:
Commonly having breast implants do not generate any effect on the patient. But there are some cases where the prosthesis is very large, which causes the skin to stretch as well as the sensory nerves, this causes a slight loss of sensitivity, but in most cases this does not happen.
