After plastic surgery, scars remain, with implants it is impossible to breastfeed a child, facial plastic surgery leads to a loss of individuality …

Myth one… Implants used in plastic surgery for breast augmentation, lower leg or buttock augmentation can cause cancer, explode on airplanes, get very hot in a sauna, and tear and leak.

All these guesses have been repeatedly tested and refuted by implant manufacturers. Modern implants have a very durable shell. During tests, their shell is obliged to withstand a direct impact at a speed of 60 km / h. And the contents are represented by a thick gel that does not flow out even when the implant is cut. All implants are made of inert materials; therefore, pressure drops in the aircraft and temperatures in the bath do not significantly affect them. As for the increased risk of cancer, repeated international studies have been carried out, which have shown that women with implants, on the contrary, are somewhat less likely to have late stages of breast cancer. This is more likely due to the fact that women are more attentive to prosthetic breasts than to the influence of the implants themselves.

The second myth. You cannot feed your baby with breast implants.

This is absolutely wrong. When properly installed, breast implants have absolutely no effect on lactation and feeding.

The third myth. Artificial breasts are not amenable to X-ray examination.

Breast implants are not a contraindication to X-ray examination. However, it is imperative to warn the radiologist about the presence of implants so that he carefully chooses the position for the study.

Women with implants are somewhat less likely to have advanced stages of breast cancer.

Myth Four. Plastic surgery is very expensive and only rich people can afford it.

Plastic surgery radically changes the perception of a person, sometimes life and even well-being changes. Therefore, these costs are fully justified. In addition, only large clinics can provide interest-free installments or even loans. You also need to closely follow the news of the clinics, because they regularly hold client days, during which they give attractive discounts so that beauty is available to everyone!

The fifth myth. Scars remain after plastic surgery.

Yes, but they are invisible. Even if there was an incision, the scar remains. But we always “put” them in a natural fold, so they are not visible.

The sixth myth. If you perform plastic surgery on your face, you can lose your individuality. Close people will not recognize me. You will have to change your passport photo.

For our facial features and our “recognizability”, it is mainly the supporting bone structures that are responsible. And 90% of plastic surgeries are aimed at working with soft tissues. They are not able to radically change your appearance, but only able to give your face a more youthful look. However, there are surgeries that significantly change the relief of your face and can change your image. These include rhinoplasty, the installation of zygomatic and chin implants, etc. But having done such an operation, you will in no way “lose your individuality”, but only make it more perfect.

The seventh myth. Plastic surgery can be done once and for life. The result after a facelift will remain forever.

A facelift creates a long-lasting effect for years, but the aging process is unstoppable and excess skin inevitably reappears. But you can be 100% sure that once you get a facelift, even decades later, you will look much younger than if you didn’t.

The eighth myth. Eyesight may deteriorate after eyelid surgery.

No. With blepharoplasty, we do not affect either the eyeball or the muscles involved in its movement in any way. Therefore, the operation has no effect on vision.

The ninth myth. Plastic surgery can be done at any age.

Yes, but the question of rationality arises. It all depends on what kind of operation. If this is an excision of a mole, then it can be done at any age. If we are talking about plastic surgery of the ears or chest, for example, then in this case it is necessary to wait for certain stages of the development of the body.

The tenth myth. If you constantly go to the beautician for procedures, do injections, then there is no need for facial plastic surgery.

It does not disappear, but is simply postponed in time, since the aging process is irreversible.

Eleventh myth. If you perform plastic surgery once, then you can become addicted and then all the time you will want to do something else.

These are extremely rare cases associated with latent defects of the human psyche. In most cases, we do not observe such dependence in our patients.

Myth twelfth. The operated nose turns blue in the cold.

Yes, just like the one who has not been operated on. But the nose after a recently performed operation is more likely to turn blue and the likelihood of complications in the cold is high. Therefore, the first season you need to take special care of yourself.
