Breast implants

Yes, you can have implants at age 24. The FDA recommends that women be at least 18 yrs old for saline and 22 yrs old for silicone implants. The other alternative would be transfer of your own fat to increase your breast size. This alternative also involves surgery but is less predictable that implants. There are risks with either type of surgery and you need to be educated about them. As far as non surgical enhancement of breast tissue, there is one option called the BRAVA system. You can... more

Breast Implants Right for Me?

Thank you for the question. There are no nonsurgical modalities to increase your breast size effectively/safely. Whether or not you should proceed with breast augmentation surgery is a complicated and very personal decision that only you can make after you consider your motivation and the “cost” associated with the operation. You should start by weighing the pros and cons of having breast implants in place. You should also consider the potential... more

Implants for a 24 year old

I am afraid there are no non-surgical options to increase your breast size. There are side effects and expected things that can happen after breast surgery but none are truly dangerous.

Breast Augmentation is Safe and Effective

Hi there- There currently is no effective or safe non-surgical option for breast augmentation.... Things that sound too good to be true still are. On the other hand, when appropriate decisions are made properly, breast augmentation is one of the safest procedures we do, associated with one of the highest rates of patient satisfaction. What are these important decisions? Well, it is important that you are healthy and that your goals are reasonable. It is also important that you... more

Are Implants Ok to Get for Someone Who is 24 Years of Age?

Sure you can!!! As far as non-surgical breast enlargement, I wouldn't waste your time or money at the present time...Implants are great for women 18 or older, (22 for silicone) and has a very high satisfaction rate with very few complications....

Appropriate Age For Breast Augmentation

Breast implants are FDA-approved for anyone over the age of 22. While it is surgery and they are not eprfect, they are very effective. There are no known effective methods of breast enlargement without surgery. Supplements have no proven studies that demonstrate their effectiveness and their safety, unlike breast implants, has not been substantiated.

Breast augmentation

You are certainly age appropriate for surgery. Surgical augmentation with implants is the one tried and true method for enlarging breast size. Supplements are not FDA approved and fat grafting bears its own risks and complications. The herbal supplements, in all likelihood, contain estrogen or hormone substitutes and may be implicated, down the road, in breast cancer so I would stay far away from them. Best of luck.

Breast implants are perfectly OK at 24

Women 23 to 33 are the key market for breast augmentation, and implants are the safe and reliable method for an increase in cup size. There is little you can do to effectively increase your breast size without imlants. Even fat grafts are 'surgery' and have a special set of risks all their own. Think carefully about how you wish to look, and get more than one consultation. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Breast implants would probably be best answer to your goals

I do not have any recommendations for increasing your breast size to the extent that you want without breast implants. I would definitely not recommend injections of any kind to your breasts. Saline or silicone implants are safe and will be the best answer to what you are looking for.

Breast enlargement options?

I would be cautious of any products out there that claim to increase breast size without surgery. Breast augmentation is relatively safe and effective procedure that has helped many women become more comfortable with their figures. I would recommend a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about breast augmentation surgery. You may find it is just right for you!

Are There Non Surgical Methods To Increase Breast Size?

Weight gain increases breast size, but not many women prefer this method of breast enlargement. You should be very skeptical of products that claim to increase breast size because at present there are none that are scientifically validated. Fat transfer to the breast is gaining in popularity as a method to increase breast size without an implant, but this too is a surgery. Try a consultation with a reputable plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery... more

Breast implants are safe and they work.

Hi. The main thing is you have to be motivated. If you are not sure, don't do it. You can always do it later. But women who are motivated are usually quite happy. see video

Age for implants

Generally this is the age most patients have breast augmentation with implants. There are some surgeons increasing breast size with fat transfer to the breasts but this is not done that commonly. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

Breast Implants in 24 year old

DDivine, You sound like a great candidate for breast augmentation.Depending on how big you want to go, you probably will not require very large implant, and as a result, you will look very natural- especially if you go with silicone gel implants. I know of no other way to increase your breast size in a controlled fashion.
