Myth busters: Cosmetic surgery.

Hair transplants are only for men (Myth)
Hair-transplant surgery is performed more frequently on men, but many women suffer hair loss or thining due to age, disease or surgery: and they, too, can undergo hair-transplant procedures.

If you have breast implants, you cannot breastfeed (Myth)
In general, breast implants do not change your ability to breastfeed. Having said that, some surgeons do avoid making incisions near the nipple to prevent damage to the milk ducts.

Liposuction eliminates fat permanently. You'll never have to exercise or diet again (Myth)
Liposuction does permanently remove a percentage of the fat cells from an area. But the remaining fat cells can increase in size. And they're still sensitive to our bad habits. In short, liposuction cannot substitute for good health and exercise.
