The internet is a useful research tool for many things, but unfortunately, it can also give rise to false assumptions and myths that just simply aren\u2019t true. Although breast augmentation has become socially acceptable and widely accessible to many more women than in past decades, there are still a number of common myths surrounding the procedure. Here are some of the most common of these falsehoods and the real facts behind them.<\/p>\n

1. Implants Have to Be Large<\/span><\/h3>\n

Often, when people think about breast implants, the image that first comes to mind is very dramatic and large. While this look is certainly possible with a breast augmentation, the truth is that the majority of procedures performed are on the subtle, smaller side. In fact, recent trends in plastic surgery suggest that smaller, more modest implant sizes are becoming much more popular than their larger counterparts (<\/span>ABC News<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Implants Always Look Fake<\/span><\/h3>\n

In a similar sense, the idea of large, over-the-top implants seems to have encouraged this breast augmentation myth. Most women are seeking very natural-looking and feeling results, and experienced plastic surgeons can utilize a variety of surgical techniques to achieve just that. Additionally, choosing a more modest size can help to create a natural, yet more youthful look. As with any cosmetic procedure, as technology improves, so does the ability to achieve smoother, more seamless results that aim to enhance your natural figure, not completely cover it up.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. There\u2019s a Right and Wrong Type of Implant<\/span><\/h3>\n

There seems to be an ongoing debate regarding silicone vs. saline breast implants. While each of these types comes with its own set of benefits and restrictions, there truly is no right or wrong choice. Because every woman\u2019s body and needs are different, so, too, will the best implant choice vary from person to person. Work closely with your plastic surgeon to determine whether <\/span>silicone or saline implants<\/span><\/a> will be the best match for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Implants Will Hinder Your Athletic Ability<\/span><\/h3>\n

Women are now placing a much larger focus on their physical health and fitness than may have been the case in recent years. Thus, a new myth surrounding athleticism and breast implants seems to have developed. If you are very active and athletic, yet you desire a boost of volume and a more youthful contour, talk with your plastic surgeon about your implant placement options. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Typically, subglandular implants, which are placed beneath the breast tissue but on top of your chest muscle, are an excellent choice for athletic women, as this placement type does not interfere with your muscle structure (<\/span>Aesthetic Surgery Journal<\/span><\/i><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n

5. You Can\u2019t Breastfeed with Implants<\/span><\/h3>\n

The ability to breastfeed is a common concern for many women considering a breast augmentation. But the truth is that having implants doesn\u2019t necessarily rule out this possibility. If breastfeeding is something that\u2019s important to you, be sure to discuss this with your plastic surgeon during your consultation. He or she should be able to design a surgical plan that will still allow for breastfeeding after the procedure (<\/span>ABC News<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n

The Bottom Line<\/span><\/h3>\n

While doing some research on your own regarding the ins and outs of <\/span>breast augmentation<\/span><\/a> can be a helpful first step when initially considering the procedure, remember that not everything you come across on the internet will be scientifically backed or truthful. The best way to find credible answers to all of your questions and concerns is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has ample experience performing breast augmentations. <\/span><\/p>\n
