Im 20 Yrs Old and I Want Breast Augmentation?

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another. See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a breast augmentation. Any women desiring breast augmentation surgery is a candidate as long as there are no health problems present which would preclude her from having surgery. If the desired goal is to enhance or restore size and shape or to improve asymmetry, breast augmentation is a viable option. Breast augmentation can improve a body image, self-esteem, self-concept, and quality of life.Ideal Candidates for Breast AugmentationDesire larger, shapelier breasts.Moderate degree of breast sag and smaller breasts, whose problem can be solved by enlargement.One breast that is noticeably smaller or is positioned differently than the other (asymmetry).Uneven chest wall or rib cage.Women requiring breast reconstruction following a mastectomy.Restore breast volume or shape following pregnancy, breast feeding and/or weight loss.

Hello! Thank you for your question. Breast augmentation is a procedure
often sought by women to increase
size, add upper pole fullness and projection along with improve shape
and symmetry of her breasts. Women who have the breast augmentation
done report increased self-confidence, self-esteem, and more comfortable
with her body. In fact, it has been the most popular procedure in
plastic surgery in the US for the past few years. Many surgeons use 18
years of age as the standard for when to offer the breast augmentation
procedure to women. Maturity and the ability to make an educated
decision for yourself of whether this procedure is the right one for you
as well as factors regarding implant choice, size, incision placement,
position of the implant, other adjunct procedures, etc are major
factors. Having the maturity to understand all of the risks and
benefits of the surgical procedure is also mandatory - thus, most are
readily able to comprehend this at that age. 23 years of age is the FDA
guideline for utilization of silicone implants. Good
communication between you and your surgeon of
your expectations is warranted - choosing your surgeon wisely is the
first step. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon well-versed
in this procedure. Research your surgeon's education, training, as
well as ability to perform this procedure. See postoperative
photographs and most importantly choose the one who you feel most
comfortable with and competent to meet your expectations. Discussion of
your wishes and having an honest and open
dialog of your procedure is mandatory (e.g, implant type, incision,
placement, lift, etc). I have found that photographs brought by the
patient is helpful to get a visualization of the appearance you wish for
in terms of size, shape, fullness, etc. In addition, your surgeon's
pre and postoperative photographs should demonstrate a realistic goal
for you. Once this has been accomplished, allow your surgeon to utilize
his/her best medical judgment during the procedure to finesse the best
possible result for you after preoperative biodimensional planning and
fitting the right implant for your breast width. Hope that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

aalthough i prefer silicone,  i recommend saline TUBA insertion for my young patients.

a 32 c would only require about 225-250 cc 

Hi!

Thank you for your question,

I would recommend you discuss your options in full detail with your
board certified plastic surgeon as to what size implant would work
best aesthetically and anatomically for your body dimensions. There
are many pros and cons for both silicone and saline. However, silicone
implants tend to be more popular as they give a more natural look.
Once again, I would discuss that with your plastic surgeon.

Good luck.

Dr. Sam Speron

Most of my patients tend to want to go to a full C/small D size.  Certainly the size implant that I would use on someone who is six feet tall would be much larger than the size that I would use on someone who is five feet tall in order to achieve that cup size.  There are pros and cons to saline versus silicone gel implants just as there are with subglandular versus submuscular placement of the implants.  This is something that your doctor should go over with you during your consultation.
