Happy Birthday! Age in itself is not a contraindication for breast enhancement.

George Marosan, MD answers: I'm 50 - am I too old for breast implants?

I'm turning 50 this year, still in good shape but feeling gravity all over! Can I still have breast implant surgery and what would reasonable expectations be for a woman my age?

About 20% of my augmentation patients are in this age group. Many women think that because gravity was not kind to them, that an augmentation will fix this.  If you think that in a bra you have enough breast volume, than a lift might be more appropriate. If you feel that you would like more fullness on top to balance the hips, thae an augmentation might be the better choice. The better your skin elasticity, thickness and lack of stretch marks, the better the results. Also, remember that if you decide to have an augmentation, there will be at least another operation in your life time related to the first surgery. Good luck!

As long as you are healthy and motivated, go see an excellent plastic surgeon to discuss your options and what could be done to give you a result you enjoy.
