Top Breast Reconstruction Myths

breast reconstruction mythsTop Breast Reconstruction Myths

You might think you know everything there is to know about breast augmentation and breast reconstruction but you likely have given in to some of the top breast reconstruction myths.  At Reynolds Plastic Surgery, we have all the information you need to help you get all you need to understand before you undergo a breast implant or reconstruction procedure. Read on to find out more about breast reconstruction myths.

Myth #1: The common size for a female breast is a C cup

This is not true at all. In fact, there are a huge variety of sizes of breasts across all women, and there is no uniform size. C may be the “desired” size by most women in the world, but it is not the most common. Some women are KK’s and others are AAA’s. All sizes and shapes are beautiful and different.

Myth #2: Your breasts will stop developing when you are in your mid-teens

A lot of women don’t actually attain the full growth of their chest until their mid to late twenties. Some women find changes in their breast tissue all the way through menopause. Don’t lose heart!

Myth #3: You’ll always wear the same bra size

This is false. You will likely go up and down sizes up to 10 times in your life, what with pregnancies and other hormonal changes that cause your breast tissue to go up and down in size.

Myth #4: Your breasts need to be symmetrical

You might have heard women refer to their breasts as the “twins”, but it is likely  not true that they’re exactly alike. Your breasts will most likely be different.

Myth #5: Any women who undergoes breast reconstruction does so for an increase in cup size

This is false. Pregnancy actually zaps fat from the chest, and women want to restore that full look once they have completed all their pregnancies. This means that many women undergo breast reconstruction to add the volume back.

Myth #6: Bras can cause cancer

This is absolutely untrue. You may have seen rumors floating around the internet, but there has been no proven scientific evidence that this is in any way linked to breast cancer. Don’t worry yourself about this.

Myth #7: If you have small breasts, you will be unable to breastfeed

This is untrue due to the fact that breast size has nothing to do with milk production, and everything to do with the amount of fat that is in a woman’s chest. There is no correlation between size and the amount of milk.

Understanding these processes will help dismiss all these breast reconstruction myths and get you on the right track when you are looking into having breast reconstruction, or wondering about how best to go about a procedure.

Hand Lifts are On the Rise

Hand Lifts are on the rise

Getting married is something that some women want to do their entire life. For a lot of these women, the  moment when they are proposed to is something they will want to remember forever. Many of us see a lot of our friends getting engaged, whether it be through a text or a phone call or through social media. Whatever the case, there is always a picture of “The ring”.

Aside from all the joy that comes from this type of occasion, there is also a lot of insecurity that comes with it. Not necessarily because of the marriage itself, but because of everything that will be in the public eye. From Pinterest-perfect weddings to everyone posting pictures of their hands on social media, this can cause a woman to become self-conscious about, yes, the way her hand looks. Hands area actually one of the first places on the body that show signs of aging, and this can be a cause of great insecurity for women who post pictures of their ring-adorned hand for all to see.

Because of this problem, “hand-lifts” have started to become a common procedure in places like France. The procedure is not new or innovative but is suddenly becoming more common.

As each of us grow older, our hands can lose the elasticity and fat that they once had, which causes them to look more old and ragged than they might have in the past. They can look more bony, and have wrinkles that look more prominent. Because of these, people are turning more and more to plastic surgery.

Injections that are typically done for the face can actually be used in the hands to create the same kind of effect, and will actually have results that are nearly instantaneous. This does not require invasive surgery, but only a simple injection.

The only question left is this: are women doing this before they get engaged? Or are they choosing to do it after, and don’t post a picture until they have had work done? This is an interesting question to consider. Some women may choose to do it before they get professional pictures taken.

Hand lifts are actually not a bad thing to have, it just might seem silly to some. However, no one will ever be completely satisfied with all the things that come with their body, so why not take some steps to improve it in a great way? It’s important that you look and feel your best, especially on your wedding day when you’ll be going around for all to see.

Have any questions about procedures such as this? Speak with our highly trained professionals today. We can assure you that there will be full disclosure before any procedure is done, and you will be much happier with the results when you find a physician you can trust.

Women's annoying cosmetic problems

Women’s Annoying Cosmetic Problems

It’s no secret that women are much stronger when it comes to style but women have their own annoying cosmetic problems as well. It is actually an alarming truth that women have a lot of beauty and health conditions that most men don’t have to worry about. This can include hair care problems as well as skin care or skin health issues. Read on to learn more.

Cellulite

Even women who are very skinny have some cellulite and cells of fat that are dimpled are often very looked down upon. While cellulite may actually vary in severity between different people, as well as being significantly worse in women who are overweight, this is actually an issue that men don’t ever need to worry their minds over. This may in fact be caused be caused by skin and patterns below it, skin thickness, as well as circulation. There was a report done by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery that only 4% of cellulite treatments are employed by men.

Melasma

Have you ever experienced any problems with dark spots from the sun? If you do, you likely have Melasma. This is a common skin condition that can come about at any time (especially while pregnant) and can also happen on your face, which is very undesirable. Women actually have this problem 90% more often than men, and there is actually no known cure for the problem. Although it cannot go away, spots can be faded with chemical peels and other treatments.

Unwanted hair

All women probably wish their morning routine didn’t have to take so much time, and it wouldn’t if you didn’t have to shave your armpits, or rid your face of unwanted hairs. Men look great with that nice five o’clock shadow on their face, but it has been found that most women don’t typically think their own stubble is attractive. If you’re sick of doing this, try laser hair removal.

Stretch marks

Men are prone to stretch marks, yes. But they do not have to battle this problem nearly as much as women do. There is the obvious reason for pregnancy and breast tissue problems, and a lot of women have significant stretch marks covering their torso. The only upside to this? These stretchmarks can be lightened with laser surgery and corrective creams.

Thinning hair

It is a well-known fact that women do not bald as easily as men. However, men can actually pull it off better! Women will have a significantly less obvious hair loss pattern, but they may not look too great when they pull their hair back. Some women can pull it off but most will feel very downtrodden if they have to reach for the Rogaine.

We can help you understand what goes on with your body, and combat problems that may come with being a woman.
