Plastic surgery myths spread quickly online, especially around implants, fillers, recovery, scars, and surgery abroad. At Trends Plastic Surgery, we believe patients make better decisions when they have clear facts, realistic expectations, and a plan focused on safety and natural results.
Armando Luis, CRNA, APRN, Founder & CEO of Trends Plastic Surgery and Master Injector, helps patients understand what is true, what is exaggerated, and what should always be discussed in consultation.
Myth 1: Breast implants always block cancer detection
Many people worry that implants block cancer detection or stop breastfeeding. In most cases, proper placement and imaging keep screening effective. Submuscular placement can improve mammogram views compared with subglandular placement. Your surgeon will choose the plan that protects function and supports your goals.
Myth 2: Cosmetic results always need constant touch ups
Another common belief says you need endless touch ups after every surgery or filler. In reality, results depend on technique, product, and care. Rhinoplasty results can last for many years. Quality fillers have known durations and clear maintenance schedules. Your plan should match your anatomy and lifestyle, not a rumor.
Myth 3: Plastic surgery is only about appearance
Some say surgery is only about looks. However, many patients report gains in confidence and well being when expectations are realistic. Improved fit in clothing and better facial balance can support daily comfort. Your mindset matters, and so does honest guidance from your care team.
Myth 4: Surgery abroad is always cheaper and easier
Lower prices abroad can be tempting. Even so, you should weigh standards, follow up, and revision access. Regulations vary. Travel adds risks during recovery. If you do explore options, verify board certification, facility accreditation, and a clear plan for aftercare. Safety and continuity save money and worry in the long run.
