Breast Implants Myths

 4. The person with a transumbilical breast augmentation (called TUBA) can not get unders.
This is not true, everyone can. All people, having a TUBA, go under the muscle.
Although, there are doctors, who say that it is not possible to be done, simply because they do not provide such a service. Still, those plastic surgeons, who are aware of how to place the implant under through an umbilical incision, though, they prefer not to do it because they consider that the combination of the placement and incision can become the reason of an unnaturally movement of the breast and / or muscle problems, occurring after the surgery.

5. TUBA can stress the breast implant and make it weaker.
This consideration appeared because of the theory that rolling up the breast implant and placing it through the small umbilical incision could damage the implant. Though, these implants are very strong, and in any case surgeons use endoscopic techniques with the application of the periareolar and transaxillary incisions. The breast implants are being rolled up and inserted through an incision about an inch long. This is practically the same technique as TUBA, only the incision location is somewhat different. 

6. The silicone elsatomer shell can make the person sick.
Although, there were some doubts as for the silicone being safe for people, after numerous years of researches, the United States Food and Drug Administration has allowed silicone – filled shell breast implants back on the market. No investigation has proved that silicone is harmful to be used by people. Nowadays a lot of kinds of silicone implants are used by surgeons without any problems, including the replacement joints, chin implants, cheek implants, etc.

7. Capsular contracture occurs quite frequently.
Generally there is an extremely little risk of getting capsular contraction, which is a kind of scar tissue, which hardens around the breast implant. Practically, it develops in case if the body does not react well to the breast implant. As for the statistical data, there are only 5% of patients, who have this kind of complication developed.
As a rule first signs of capsular contracture get revealed within the first 3 to 5 months after the breast implantation surgery. In case if contracture occurs months or even years after the surgery, it is usually caused by some infection or trauma.

8. Breast implants make the breasts sag earlier.
It is necessary for every person to keep in mind, that it is neither having the breast implants nor not having them, that causes the breasts to sag. The most usual reasons of sagging are gravity, weight and loss of skin’s elasticity, which comes with the age. Any breast of the same size and weights gets sagged just as fast as its enhanced counterpart.

Therefore, from another hand, because the person receives larger breasts, which also weigh more, they will sag at just the same rate as someone’s who has the same size natural breasts, in case if the skin elasticity of both people is the same. It is not possible for nearly every woman to go braless all of the time after having breast implanted. Moreover, it is important to wear good, supportive bras of high quality.
