Breast Augmentation

3 Facts You Didn’t Know about Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation

You probably know that there are different types of breast implants. You may also have heard that most women who have breast augmentation feel more confident as a result. But did you know that breast implants were first developed in the 1960s, or that it’s not necessarily true that you can’t breastfeed after getting them? Read on to improve your breast augmentation IQ.

  1. They’ve Been Around Since the 1960s

    The first silicone implant was introduced in 1962, and its saline counterpart came along six years later. The first woman to have breast augmentation surgery, Timmie Jean Lindsey, didn’t set out to enhance her breasts when she went to see her plastic surgeon about having a tattoo removed. In a true case of being in the right place at the right time, Timmie Jean was asked if she wanted to volunteer for the revolutionary procedure, and the rest is history.

       Breast implants have improved vastly over the years as the technology and technique behind breast augmentation has evolved.

  2. Women Who Have Implants Can Breastfeed

    One of the most common misconceptions about breast augmentation is that many women are unable to breastfeed after having implants. The truth is that many women who have had implants are able to successfully nurse their babies. If you plan to breastfeed after breast augmentation, discuss your concerns with your cosmetic surgeon.

  3. They Can Look Totally Natural.

    While some women may prefer a larger-than-life look, most want natural-looking implants that enhance their figure without looking “done.” Today, breast implants can look so real that nobody will know unless you tell them. A skilled cosmetic surgeon can help you choose the implant size, type and placement that will produce the most natural-looking breast augmentation results, and that’s a fact.
