Yes, it is true.
To enlarge or correct their breasts.
The world's most recognized authority on breast feeding, La Leche League International, advocates breast-feeding -- even by women with implants. Many women have been concerned about a study conducted with regard to the effect of silicone on children who were breast fed by mothers with silicone implants. Only 11 children were studied, born to women with breast implants. 8 had been breast-fed. Six of the 8 had esophageal problems (swallowing, vomiting problems). La Leche League states that it is possible to nurse with breast implants as long as the milk ducts haven't been severed or blocked. There may also be some loss of sensation or altered nipple sensation if the nerves to the nipple and aureole have been severed
Yes, but they may be "augmented" with implants. Women who've lost part of a breast to cancer may also have implants.
Yes, women with breast implants can have erect nipples.
Breast implants are not meant to last a lifetime. Many women have them replaced at some point in the future. Matters such as pregnany, weight loss or weight gain, desire for bigger breasts, all bring women back to the operating table. I have seen a number of women in our clinics who have had their implants for fifteen years or more. They usually return because of the effects of ageing on the breasts and many opt to have a change of implants , sometimes with a breast uplift ( mastopexy) to lift them at the same time. If you are concerned about your breast implants after all of this time, see your family Doctor or visit a Plastic Surgeon. You could have a scan to see if the implant is intact and everything looks okay.
Many women are unhappy with the size of their breasts. Some have had surgery due to cancer and have had their breasts removed. Others have never been satisfied with the size of their breasts that nature gave them. Either way, these women often would like to undergo a procedure called breast inflation, where the size of the breast is increased through surgery. Implants are inserted into the woman's chest and when she is stitched up, she has a breast that is the intended size.
Cos they all get implants
Yes, but breast implants can obscure mammogram images, decreasing the ability of mammograms to reveal breast cancer. Still, studies show that mammograms are an effective way to screen for breast cancer in women with breast implants.
Having breast implants inserted only affects body weight in that the implants themselves have a weight.
The symptoms of fibrocystic breast disease are tenderness, lumpiness, and pain in the breasts. This is not uncommon in women, as over 50% of women have fibrocystic breasts.
Many people are able to breastfeed after having breast implants, but many are not.
There is no reason women "shouldn't"; she has the right to do whatever she pleases to her body.
