You're NOT too old!
50 is not too old for breast augmentation! My oldest patient was a 70 year old woman and she had an excellent surgical outcome and was very happy.

Too Old for Breast Implants?
50 years old is not too old for a breast augmentation provided that there are no other contraindications and you are in good physical health.

Definitely not
Age is not a determining factor for most plastic surgery. However your surgeon will have to judge the quality of your skin, and if there is a degree of ptosis (hanging) of the breast, you may need some kind of lifting, which may involve some extra incisions.
Don't be tempted to demand a scarless breast correction if you need a lifting, you will end up disappointed. The best advice is to trust your surgeons judgement based on experience.
Good luck!

Breast augmentation in ones 50's
Age is rarely a limiting factor in plastic surgery. In fact that is much of what we do, restore a youthful appearance when our bodies or faces are changing in ways that leave something to be desired.
Keep in mind, implants come on all sizes. You can find a size that is appropriate for your body and give you the proportions that you are looking for.
Best of luck with your decision,

These woman want to look as great on the outside as they feel on the inside. If you are healthy, there is no reason why you shouldn't explore your options.

Implants and an age limit?
I will say that 50 is not too old to have breast implants. I do them all the time in women of various ages for a variety of reasons. Go for a consultation to be properly evaluated. Good luck!

Is 50 too old for breast implants?
No, we see a large number of women in their 50's for breast lift, breast implants, and a combination of the two if indicated. As long as you are medically OK for surgery, there is no reason why you could not achieve an excellent result from surgery.

Breast Augmentation at Age of 50?
No, assuming you are in good health, the age of 50 is not a contraindication to proceeding with breast augmentation ( or any other type of breast) surgery.
Best wishes.

How Old Is Too Old For Breast Implants?
The young age of 50 is certainly irrelevant in getting breast implants. There really is no age limit when it comes to breast enhancement, it is all about desire and being in good health to undergo elective surgery.

50 is not too old for breast implants
I find more and more patients wanting cosmetic procedures in the 40s, 50s, and even 60s. I think age is just a number and it's how you feel. As long as you have been medically cleared by your physician, go for it!

50 is definitely not too old for breast implants
As long as you understand the risks and benefits of breast implants and it's something that you really want to do then don't let a number stop you. Make sure that you go through proper preop assessment to make sure you are in good health. Find a board certified plastic surgeon that you trust and discuss your concerns.

Too old for breast implants?
A growing number of patients above age 50 come to me for breast augmentation surgery. They are among my happiest patients. With good habits of nutrition and exercise and a little good luck you will have many decades to enjoy them.

Age and augmentation
Age is usually not an issue with breast surgery in general and augmentation in particular. your surgeon should be able to assess your overall health and skin condition and offer the option based on a physical examination.

Age is not a big factor, your overall health is
If you are a healthy woman, it doesn't matter if you are 50 or 20 years old. Talk to a board certified plastic surgeon to see if breast implants would help you address a concern you may have about your breasts, and if you are healthy to undergo this procedure safely.

Too old for breast surgery?
If you are thinking about it, you are not too old. It is not an everyday thing, but I regularly see patients your age and older for breast enlargement.
