Breast plastic surgery is one of the popular aesthetic procedures that many women dream of or need. However, we often come across misinformation circulating around us about this type of surgery. In this blog post, we will focus on explaining the common misconceptions about breast aesthetics and correcting them.
Myth 1: Breast Aesthetics Only Includes Breast Augmentation Surgery
Reality: Breast aesthetics does not only include breast augmentation surgeries. These surgeries also include breast reduction, breast lift (mastoscopy), breast reshaping and breast reconstruction. Therefore, breast aesthetics can provide functional and psychological improvement beyond aesthetic purposes.
Myth 2: Breast Aesthetics is Only for Aesthetic Purposes
Reality: Breast plastic surgery can be performed not only for aesthetic purposes, but also for functional reasons. For example, large breasts can cause back pain and breast reduction surgery can solve this problem. Also, breast reconstruction is important to correct breast loss after breast cancer.
Myth 3: Everyone is a Candidate for Breast Aesthetic Surgery
Reality: Breast plastic surgery is not suitable for everyone. Candidates are carefully selected based on their general health, age and surgical requirements. Your surgeon will assess whether surgery is suitable for you.
Myth 4: Breast Aesthetic Surgery Always Leaves Prominent Scars
Reality: Modern surgical techniques and suture materials are designed to minimize scars after surgery. Surgeons take care to hide or optimally heal scars. In addition, the healing process and wound care also help to reduce the visibility of scars.
Myth 5: Breast Aesthetic Surgery is Only for Women
Reality: Breast aesthetic surgeries can be performed not only for women, but also for men who have problems with breast shape or size. Breast aesthetic surgeries can be performed to correct breast enlargement (gynecomastia) in men.
Myth 6: Breast Plastic Surgery Always Requires Extremely Large Implants
Reality: The size of the implants used in breast augmentation surgery is determined by the patient’s preferences and body structure. Not everyone wants or needs large breast implants. Your surgeon will work with you to determine the size and type of implant that best suits you.
Myth 7: Breast Aesthetic Surgery Results are Permanent
Reality: The results of breast plastic surgery can change over time. Implants have a limited lifespan and sometimes need to be replaced. Also, factors such as aging, weight changes and pregnancy can affect the results. Good care and regular check-ups with a doctor can help ensure long-term results.
Having the wrong information about breast aesthetic surgeries can complicate the decision-making process and hinder realistic expectations. Therefore, when considering any aesthetic procedure, it is important to consult with a specialized surgeon and get the right information. Remember, every patient is different and requires a personalized approach.
