Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will my breasts look or feel fake?
A: When breast implants are placed behind the pectoral muscle, the muscle blunts the part of the implant that peeks out of a tank top, bra or bathing suit, creating a more natural look. If someone touches your breast, he or she will feel your own breast tissue for the most part. It is common to be able to feel the implant on the side or underneath the breast, where there is little or no muscle coverage. The thinner you are, the easier it is to feel the implants, but it seems to be a nonissue for most women.

Q: Will I be able to breastfeed after getting breast implants? 
A: In most cases, a breast augmentation will not interfere with breastfeeding. That’s because the milk ducts are generally not disturbed during the procedure when implants are placed through an incision under the breast. However, not all women are naturally able to breastfeed, whether or not they have cosmetic breast surgery.

Q:  Do breast implants have to be replaced every 10 years?
A: Breast implants only need to be replaced if they deflate (saline implants) or rupture (silicone implants), and they’re not fragile. Through the years, manufacturers have increased the strength of the implant shell; in my experience, only about 3 percent or less of implants break. Dr. Ted Eisenberg recently removed saline implants from a woman who wanted to go bigger after 23 years, and her implants looked the same as the day he put them in.

Q:  Can I sleep on my side after breast augmentation surgery?
A: You don’t have to sleep on your back or sit up all night after breast augmentation, breast lift or reduction surgery. You can sleep any way you want from the night of surgery on, including on your side or even on your stomach if you are comfortable enough. You won’t pop or displace your breast implants by sleeping on them; they are extremely durable.

Q:  I’m on a diet. Should I finish losing weight before I have breast augmentation surgery?
A: When you lose weight, it not only reduces the size of your waist and thighs, but it might also reduce the size of your breasts – sometimes dramatically – leaving you with saggy breasts and stretched skin. If you are planning to lose 10% or more of your body weight, it makes sense to wait until you have reached your goal before you have breast augmentation surgery. In order to choose breast implants that will make you proportional, you need to know your true starting size.

Q:  Do breast implants get in the way of reading a mammogram?
A: Because Dr. Eisenberg places breast implants behind the chest muscle, the implant interferes less with your mammogram. With over 300,000 women having breast augmentations each year, most radiologists have experience reading these mammograms. Likewise, the placement does not interfere with a manual breast exam by you or your gynecologist.

“Dr. Eisenberg and his staff, the anesthesiologist, the nurses, and all of the others who assisted in my care, both before and after surgery, were very professional, courteous, warm and compassionate. Never before have I felt so well taken care of. I would highly recommend Nazareth Hospital and all who participated in my surgical procedure, particularly Dr. Eisenberg.” – Deborah
