Questions answered by trusted doctors
Did you know?
The first breast enhancement surgery was performed in the 19th century!
An Austrian doctor named Dr. Robert Gersuny injected paraffin into breasts for the first time in the year 1890 to enhance them. This was the first recorded instance of breast enhancement procedure.
You can most likely nurse even if you have implants
Most breast enhancement surgeries are compatible with breastfeeding. If your doctor had made the incisions under the fold of the breast or through the armpit it shouldn’t cause any trouble. A curved incision (smile-like) made around the areola may cause problems with breastfeeding.
One implant settles faster than another during recovery
Women are often surprised with the fact that the implants settle into place at different rates while recovering. If you are right-handed, chances are the right implant will fall into place more slowly since the muscle development is greater on the dominant side. It is vice versa if you are left-handed.
