Breast Augmentation Considerations for a 50 Year Old

First
of all I would tell you that this is more common than you think! Many
women do not undergo a breast augmentation until their last child goes to
college. The breasts can deflate and lose the youthful appearance they
once had. The majority of women in this range want exactly what you are stating a small implant that is just going to restore what they have lost.  Something that will look good in a nice dress.  



If
you are in good health there is no reason that you could not have a breast augmentation. I encourage you to see a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options!

If you are healthy, there are no contraindications to breast augmentation.  You will need a preoperative mammogram,

Hi & thanks for your question.
You may absolutely have a breast augmentation as long as you are in good health. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Go for it! Best wishes.

If you're in good health, then women over 50 can be great candidates for breast augmentation surgery. Expect your surgeon to carefully evaluate your breast tissues in order to help you choose the best implant for your body. It's important to make sure you have an up-to-date mammogram has been performed within the last year. When considering breast augmentation make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon who will take the time to answer all of your questions and explain all of your options, so that you can decide if breast augmentation is right for you.

Thank you for your question. There aren't really specific concerns for someone your age. You will need to be medically cleared for surgery by your primary care physician, the same for any surgical patient. If there have significant ptosis (sagginess) in your breasts, you may want an augmentation plus a breast lift (an aug/pexy). Good luck, and for more information about other choices to be made before undergoing breast augmentation, take a look at the Guide to Breast Augmentation on my website from the web reference below. I discuss common patient questions I receive, silicone versus saline implants, round versus anatomically shaped implants, smooth versus texturized implants, implant manufacturer, implant insertion incision location, implant location inside the breast, and more.
