How Does Menopause Affect the Outcome of Breast Implants in Women over 45?

In most cases, there aren't any specific issues that affect the outcome of breast augmentation after menopause. With normal aging, the breast tissue may change and the skin may be thinner. However, a Board Certified plastic surgeon will be able to examine you and offer recommendations based on your personal situation.

Thank you for the question.

I am not aware of any specific issues related to women having breast  augmentation after menopause.  Many of my patients at this age have been ideal candidates for breast augmentation surgery.  These patients tend to be relatively emotionally mature, self-motivated, and have reached a stage in life (after pregnancies and/or weight loss)  where further significant body changes are not anticipated.  Occasionally these patients will mention that they have been busy “giving” to children/ family and now have time and resources to “do something for myself”.

Best wishes.
