Bringing you comprehensive breast implant information is our mission. Misconceptions have no place in medicine, including plastic surgery procedures. Believing something that isn’t true can stop you from your goal. Because it’s our goal to make you feel beautiful and youthful from the inside out, Salameh Plastic Surgery wants to take a few moments to dispel some of the most common breast implant myths. Don’t be afraid to enhance your body if that’s what you want to do. Get the highest quality information from a knowledgeable source before making a decision.

Breast Implants Look Fake

Factual breast implant information is a must when you’re considering breast augmentation surgery. One of the most prevailing myths about breast augmentation is that implants appear fake. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Breast enhancement has come a long way. Not only are there new materials that create a more natural appearance, but the overall shape and structure of breast implants have evolved, as well. The evolution of the procedure all but guarantees that if you want to look natural, that’s possible. Salameh Plastic Surgery, in particular, has the knowledge, the tools, and the surgical techniques necessary to ensure a natural-looking result you’ll feel confident with.

Implants Don’t Feel Like the Real Thing

Another popular breast implant myth is that implants don’t feel as natural. Again, the evolution of surgical techniques has proven this myth incorrect. For example, the way we place breast implants today results in a natural tactile sensation. Most notably, we’ve perfected the technique of subfascial positioning, which not only keeps the implants soft and pliable but also prevents the formation of scar tissue.

Implants and Breastfeeding

Providing the correct breast implant information is important to us due to both the amount of misconceptions and the nature of them. One disheartening myth is that you’re unable to breastfeed when you have breast implants. That’s not the case. In most instances, breast augmentation will not affect your ability to breastfeed whatsoever. There are some methods and techniques which may make it more difficult to breastfeed, but they rarely, if ever, make it impossible.

Breast Implants Cause a Loss of Sensation

Many breast implant myths scare patients so badly that they’re afraid to consider augmentation even if they want to enhance the shape or size of their breasts. That’s especially true for this myth: the fear of losing sensation in the breasts. While you may lose sensation directly after an augmentation, especially around the nipples, you just have to give the nerves time to heal and to accommodate the new size and shape of your breasts. Sensations will typically return within several months of the procedure.

The Silicone Advantage

At Salameh Plastic Surgery, we use 5th generation silicone implants to help you achieve your desired size, contours, and measurements. The benefits of silicone include a more natural look and a firmer feel.

In the hands of Dr. Salameh, silicone implants are always applied with skill and proportion, to restore to you the confidence and beauty you deserve.
