3 myths to debunk about breast augmentation

Common myths about breast augmentation surgery

Although breast augmentation is now a common procedure, many false myths still circulate, creating unnecessary fears and doubts. Here are 3 myths to debunk about breast augmentation surgery.

  1. Implants don’t explode on airplanes.
    Breast implants are completely safe. The idea that they could burst during a flight is pure fiction. If that were possible, airlines would prohibit passengers with implants from boarding.
  2. You can still breastfeed after breast augmentation.
    The belief that implants prevent breastfeeding is false. Breast implants do not interfere with a mother’s ability to breastfeed and pose no risk to the baby.
  3. Implants don’t interfere with medical exams.
    It’s untrue that implants hinder the detection of potential breast conditions. An experienced radiologist can perform mammograms and ultrasounds safely and accurately. If there were any danger, health authorities would have banned the procedure.
