Liposuction myths

Liposuction is not a weight loss treatment which means that it is not a substitute for healthy diet and exercises. By having liposuction, you have the fat which cannot respond to exercises removed.

Because of health concerns, liposuction is usually done on healthy candidates who are close to their healthy weight. Liposuction does not remove cellulite or stretch marks.

During liposuction, fat is removed through tubes placed under the skin and sometimes the results after the liposuction may be worse since this fat layer is removed and the skin loses elasticity in the meantime.

Finally, age is not determining factor if you want to have this cosmetic surgery.

Smoking and plastic surgeries

If you want to undergo some kind of plastic surgery, you definitely need to stop smoking. Nicotine causes spasm of blood vessels which basically means that blood flow through blood vessels is stopped.

More specifically, nicotine causes blood vessels to decrease in their size which leads to the decrease in the blood supply. If there is not enough blood supply, there may be total or partial wound breakdown.

Your incision may take a long time to heal and it may heal with scars. Smoking can lead to pulmonary problems such as lung spasm if patients are under anaesthesia.

There are also specific health problems which are related to specific types of surgeries as well.

Breast implants does not need to be replaced every few years

It is a common misconception that breast implants need to be replaced every few years. Because of it, many women do not even consider breast augmentation since they do not want to undergo procedures every three year.

Generally speaking, breast implants can last from 10 to 20 years. According to FDA reports, only 20% of women can expect the replacement of breast implants within 10 years.

Even though most breast implants last longer than 10 years, be prepared just in case that you may need a procedure done within the first 10 years.
