Ever wondered what really happens to your belly button during a tummy tuck — or if you can still get a mammogram with implants?
In this myth-busting episode of Making the Cut, Dr. Patrick Basile and Hope Gulley, APRN, tackle some of the most common plastic surgery misconceptions they hear every day in practice — from breast surgery to belly buttons and beyond.
Because let’s be honest: the internet is full of answers, but not all of them are true.
Together, they unpack:
- What actually happens to your belly button during a tummy tuck (hint: it’s not a brand new one)
- Whether you can still breastfeed or get mammograms with implants
- The truth about breast lifts and why your nipples aren’t removed
- Why “internal bra” mesh isn’t what you’ve seen in lawsuit commercials
- And how long breast implants really last these days
Whether you're planning surgery or just curious, this episode is about separating fact from fiction — and empowering you with the real info you need to feel confident in your choices.
Because informed patients = empowered patients. And we’re here for that.
