Edit Myths surrounding breast augmentation treatment

<p>Your size, body shape, and lifestyle will all be taken into account before surgery. It’s only really when you go to cut-price unregulated clinics that you’ll find people coming out with over-the-top breasts.</p> <p>It is now so difficult to tell if someone has had <a title="breast augmentation" href="/Treatment/breast-implants-enlargement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">breast augmentation</a> unless there’s a visible <a title="scar" href="/conditions/scarring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scar</a> under the bust, and even that heals to a minimal level.</p> <p>The most important thing is to raise any questions you might have during your consultations so that you understand and are happy with everything that’s going ahead and exactly what outcome you can expect.</p> <p><strong>Flying</strong> - Travelling with breast implants is something we get asked about a lot. You might hear horror stories of implants exploding on a plane for example! This is simply not going to happen, those stories are linked to the PIP scandal where unlicensed silicone was used.</p> <p><em>Implants nowadays are not designed to break, tear or pop, it’s not in their composition. </em></p> <p>The structure shifts under pressure meaning at worst they might move position slightly. If you were ever concerned about this go straight back to your surgeon who will assess.</p> <p><em>You can absolutely go through airport security scanners and they will appear as part of your muscle structure and they certainly won’t set off the detectors!</em></p> <p><strong>Breastfeeding</strong> - It’s understandable that you would think you can’t breastfeed once you’ve had breast surgery.</p> <p>Something has changed medically in that area so it follows logically that it will not work in the same way, but there’s more to it.</p> <p>If you’ve had <a title="nipple correction" href="/treatment/breast-nipple-surgery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nipple correction</a> or a <a title="breast uplift" href="/Penguin/blog/main/nipple%20correction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">breast uplift</a> there’s a chance your ability to breastfeed in the future may be compromised, in which case it’s better to wait until you’ve finished having children to look into getting treated. In the case of a standard enlargement of the breasts, there’s no reason you won’t be able to breastfeed. The implant is not placed in such a way as to interfere with the milk ducts. If you want a bit more of the science behind it your surgeon can certainly break it down for you.</p>
